processing 1.0.1 and puppy linux, opengl problems

Hi,
first of all, I solved a previous issue with the processing start script not working in puppy linux: the solution is to change the line:
APPDIR="$(dirname -- "${0}")"
to
APPDIR="$(dirname "${0}")"
removing the dashes did the trick, however, I should test it under Ubuntu to see if it works there too.

The problem I'm having is with the opengl examples: they load but they are so slow that in practice they are unusable because it takes 5 to 10 seconds to draw the next frame.
I asked already in the puppy linux forum for help but with no result, so I'd like to know where I should investigate (I know very little about opengl).
Please let me know which details of my setup are useful.
The motherboard is an intel dq35joe with intel gma 3100 graphic card.
Puppy linux 4.1.1

Everything else works (and the opengl examples work in my ubuntu install).

Thanks and best regards,

Libero Mureddu

Hi,
I tried the modified processing script under ubuntu 8.10 and it works, so maybe this could be a good solution for the linux start script to have it working also in other distributions.
In the modified version the two dashes after dirname are removed:
APPDIR="$(dirname "${0}")"

Regards,
Libero
