frozen-bubble is an SDL game written in Perl.  It does not use 3d.  but
your video may be the issue.  For example, k/ubuntu uses the nv driver
for nvidia cards for legal reasons etc.  If mandrake was using an
accelerated driver it would have been faster in general.

I see you have the Intel 915 chipset.   Do you still have the xorg.conf
from mandrake?  If so look at which Driver was used.

Here is some stuff that might help with getting 3d working
