IsMesaInstallBroken? + Mesa Version + Video Card + Video Card Driver (Xorg vs Proprietary) + VideoCardDriverUpToDate? + Patch(if needed) = success/failure
It'd be nice if there were a simple fix that worked for everyone, but it is not the case. Xorg drivers are what usually come with the X Server (ie your linux distro). These drivers should not be your first choice. The Xorg drivers often contain buggy OpenGL code that is fixed in proprietary drivers available at the nVidia or ATI site. In some cases, older ATI cards are not supported by ATI for linux. This is one example where the xorg drivers are probably your only real option. If OpenGL does contain a buggy implementation, it falls on the program (like Planeshift) to patch the problem internally until the Xorg/Proprietary driver team can fix the problem. Having said that, patching such problems without the card is nearly impossible. It would be complete guesswork to find a patch without the card and let's face it, there are a lot of cards out there. Here is a walkthrough solution for patching the code (if that is the issue): http://vaalnor.mine.nu/psdoc/?q=node/44 . Good luck!
