Linux Enemy Territory very slow in menus

[Mica Telodico]

Hi all,

I'm tring to play to Wolfenstein:ET on FreeBSD 4.8 and
5.1 , but I have the subsequent problem:

My system is Athlon XP 2400+ with a Radeon 8500LE ,
DRI and Linux SubSystem is correctly installed , I can
start the game correctly, I see the video without any
problem , and all is ok until I get into the Main Menu
of the game .

The screen is draw correctly ( only a little glitch in
the right-low corner) , but the problem is that all is
veeeeeeery slow , also if I put resolution to 640x480
and all the graphics options to the lowest setting.
The mouse and the keyboard are very laggy , if I move
the mouse I have to wait a couple of seconds before it
moves (and it doesn't move smoothly , it moves like if
the system is under heavy load) , the sound have some
problem too , sometimes it is choppy.  The very funny
thing is that if I start the game (is very difficult
start a game , because the mouse is pretty difficult
to move) the game work correctly , the mouse is very
quick in responding and the keyboard too , the sound
is smooth , and the game is fast (as under linux) ,
I've tried at a max of 1024x768 (I can't try over this
resolution , because at this Res the mouse become
impossible to control under the main menu , and at
this Res is quite difficult too) . Why under the menu
the system is so slow , and under the game (that
should be more heavy that the menu! ) works normal and
under the menus it doesn't ?? 

Please Help

Bye

Marcello
