Probably I did not explain it clear: the graphics (rotation of the
spacecraft) is more or less smooth. It does not look like a rendering
speed issue. Yes, I have DRI enabled with i810 driver (1.7.2-1) for
X.org:

$ xdriinfo
Screen 0: i915
$ glxinfo | head -10
name of display: :0.0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
server glx extensions:
    GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating,
    GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, GLX_OML_swap_method,
    GLX_SGI_make_current_read, GLX_SGIS_multisample, GLX_SGIX_hyperpipe,
    GLX_SGIX_swap_barrier, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig, GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer

The problem is that when I see `Load Previous Commander (Y/N)' message,
the program does not respond to my keypresses, and the ship keeps
rotating.
