It's difficult to understand what you say. Do you have the driver installed or not? Which version of the drivers do you have? Is it the last one? And of LÖVE?

AMD proprietary FGLRX driver(not post). Not sure on the version I just went to additional drivers for ubuntu, and I have v0.8 if LÖVE.

Are you sure the driver is working properly? If it's running terrible, OpenGL could be falling back to software emulation if it can't use your hardware. Can you play other (non-love) recent games fine?

Well I got the system crashing problem fixed now so I don't have to use the AMD prop. drivers, now I am running an "Unknown driver" (Yes, it litteraly says unknown driver) and Love is working fantastic again....

Okay just tested the AMD prop. driver with World of Goo off of steam and I am thinking it runs faster with the driver, and I also ran it with cario dock w/ opengl and that is doing wonderful

Note: I have test this on both the v3.2 and v3.4 of the linux kernel, both resultiing in a really slow Love2D
Also these test were on a AMD Radeon HD 6850
