what video card do you have?
do other games run fast enought?
is the right driver installed?
what distribution do you use?
if you have a nvidia video-card, download the driver from http://www.nvidia.com

look into the file /etc/XF86Config-4 under section "device", there you can see an entry like:
driver="your_driver"
but I don't know which driver is correct for your card, I don't know this card, but if other games run fine, it seems not to be a driver problem...

Is cube USING the driver? or is it in Software Emulation mode? (I wouldn't know how to check)

Cube doesn't have a software mode. Its all OpenGL. The real question is the OpenGL driver on your computer the software or hardware openGL driver.

That's what I mean... I was just asking if the settings were correct in the driver.

run it in gnome, KDE has a very high toll on resources if you didn\'t compile it yourself

This is most likely an XFree driver issue, even if KDE takes a lot of system resources, i don't think that could be enough to go below 15-20fps, unless some KDE process goes mad, he should use # top to check this.
