Beagleboard Not Fast Enough for Ubuntu

Sat 4/23/11

With Kinect working on Beagleboard running Ubuntu, we proceeded to download and installed Stepmania Simulator (Pump It Up game-mode). A screenshot can be seen below.

To our disappointment, the game runs at very low frame rate (less than 5 fps), so it is virtually unplayable.

This drove us to reconsider running Android again, especially after seeing the blazing speed of 2D and 3D graphics demos that came with the Texas Instruments' pre-built Android image.
