Looks like your resolution is messed up... have you tried setting it in PSSetup.exe?

Yes, and i just tried again and noticed this:

./pssetup
Crystal Space X windows driver
(Using SHM extension plugin)
Using 24 bit TrueColor visual

and 24bits is not supported by Planeshift/CS/etc? Least its not mentionet in client setup.. so can this cause problems?

I found the cause..

I had to switch from OpenGL to Software to fix this.

Does this mean at something is wrong on my system or at its just too slow :)?

I can run the game in OpenGL mode with 16bit and 24bit colour with no problems. Not being a Linux user myself, I doubt I can read more into the info you gave and suggest any more help. :( But I hope you get it running soon. Perhaps you could visit the Public Developer channel in IRC and ask around?

server: irc.freenode.net
channel: #planeshift


Good luck. :)
