Please try 1.5.0-beta1. It changes some default video configurations that should work better with modern hardware/drivers.

Otherwise, please attach your openttd.cfg.

The 1.5.0beta seems to be a little bit slightly faster (at least I can move the mouse cursor around semi-controllably), but still unplayable.

I attached my config file as requested.

btw: my hardware is Athlon64X2 4200+, 4GB DDR2, Radeon HD7770

Remind me : http://bugs.openttd.org/task/5802

As your config doesn't have any blitter set, i think you are running at 128 cache size, while frosch commit 128 as default cache size, that default size is only for 8bpp
http://hg.openttd.org/openttd/trunk.hg/rev/96a1128e944c
With a 32bpp the cache size is * 4

So for me, you are running 8bpp blitter, cache size is set to 128, cache size is too small -> cpu get on its knees -> slowness.

What you could try :
- Force 32bpp blitter -> blitter = "32bpp-optimized"
- Force higher cache size -> sprite_cache_size_px = 512
- Or combine both

I added both. This made the game extra smooth on another of my machines (which didn't have performance problems anyway), but didn't help on my main. In another place some people suggested that I might not have 2d acceleration working. I accept the possibility that this might be a bug in the driver, not in OpenTTD.

Because I couldn't find how to resolve this, I ended up installing fglrx again.

I don't know what causes this problem, the gameitself, libsdl (cause I noticed severe slowdowns in other libsdl games too), or the radeon driver (fun fact: my hdd died in the mean time, before that it broke my xorg setup and I had to use some generic video driver, probably vesa - OpenTTD ran great on that, but all 3d apps didn't run at all). I'll keep in mind to check if this gets fixed in newer kernels and distro versions.
