I just installed planeshift, downloaded the fixed updater, and updated the game, but for some reason the game flashes black. I can still see the game, and I can move my mouse/press keys and whatnot, but the graphics problem makes the game unplayable. Whenever I try to edit any of the settings with pssetup, I get an "error saving configuration" message, and it doesn't seem to save my settings, so I don't know if messing with any of the graphics settings would help.
I'm using ubuntu hardy, and I get a couple of errors in the terminal when I run the game. I don't think they're related, but here they are anyway:
Duplicate effect 'x_obj_spire' found!
Duplicate effect 'x_obj_star' found!
Duplicate effect 'x_obj_quad' found!

Edit: sorry, I forgot to mention my graphics card is an ATI Mobility Radeon X2300. I'll try to update the drivers, but I have absolutely no idea how to do that in ubuntu.
