Hi Ken

That FPS rate shows that you do not have OpenGl accellerator drivers for your display. You will need to identify the Nvidia chip set and down load/install the drivers from Nvidia

I have a similar problem on this computer with Linux in the fact that there are no Linux drivers for my video card (SIS 661).

Also that Stellarium version is way out of date. We have come a long way since that one.

Building from source is quite easy. The instructions are in the Stellarium Wiki.

It should take less than 30 minutes to set up and then you can build every time there is an update.

Brief instructions:
In the terminal paste the Ubuntu dependancies list.
execute it.
This will install the dependancies in one go
Then download the (bzr) source into a "stellarium" folder

Make the build folder in stellarium /builds/unix

Then follow the compiling directions _ easy peasy!
