Have you activate the direct rendering ?
you may have in your xorg.conf a section \"device\" for your video card. In this section search for a line like that :
RenderAccel    \"True\"

For example, here is my card configuration :

Section \"Device\"
Identifier  \"Card0\"
Driver      \"nvidia\"
VendorName  \"nVidia Corporation\"
Option      \"AllowGLXWithComposite\" \"true\"
BoardName   \"NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]\"
BusID       \"PCI:2:0:0\"
Option      \"RenderAccel\" \"true\"
EndSection

Just to help Acraig with the easy_planeshift script.

The script works well for me, except 2 minors \"not-real-problems\" :
1) the `cvs update` fail for CEL, I just re-launch the script and it works well. I don\'t think it\'s really linked with the script (maybe network latency, but i\'m on a 20 Mb/s internet line...).
2) All compile well but I have some errors at link time (I will post the errors next time i compile it, because i\'ve not note them but it was errors related to ld). One more time I don\'t think those errors are related to the script.

As a conclusion i just say that the easy_planeshift script works perfectly well for me, i will try it on Mac OS X and let the feedback here too.

Anyway, thank you for this excellent way of installation, it\'s a little long the first time but i don\'t realy care.

I like it too, but do not forget that Linux users are not all coders !
I just say that to avoid a bad idea : Linux users does not systematically mean Guru (my brothers Mandriva Linux to work, play, watch video, etc and have never touch a bash, they are unable to compile a source or create automatic compile script).

I just say that because binary are also really important.
Even for expert user which don\'t want to spend 3 hours to re-compile CS,CEL and PS ;-)

Hi there,
I just start to play PlaneShift and it seem to be great.
I create my first character last night, and due to the hour just start to play there is 30 minutes.
And after doing some sight seing (and die du to a stupid fall from a wall :-), I have been banned for 1 year !!!
What the matter ? I have say \"hello\" to everybody, I don\'t put my fingers in my nose, don\'t have any weapon, don\'t attack anybody (a dwarf save my life from a monster or something like that), in a word I don\'t understand !
My player name is something like Assblaster Smasherboy (or switch blaster and smasher) I don\'t think that this funny name (it make me laught :-) is the cause of a whole year ban but I cannot see anything else so...
If any admin can explain why I am ban he makes me happy !
And if you don\'t allow funny names please ban only the character not the whole account !!!!

Anyway, this game seems to be great

I got the same problem on a Slackware current, and I cannot get the update from the updater thread because of :
