The answer is almost certainly the video card or drivers. Stellarium uses OpenGL for screen drawing and manufacturers have various quality in their OpeGL implementations. It works best with NVidia chipsets. ATI + Linux (eg the box I'm typing this on) might not even run at all. It runs fine on my T40 with XPpro + 512MB and T400 with XPpro + 2GB.
See if you have the latest drivers for your chipset.
