I just installed Lincity-ng tonight, and it is bugging out in a weird way.

Primarily, when the game opens (fullscreen) the screen is black -- not no signal, just black -- moving the mouse around will randomly trigger the game maine menu, but then it blinks out instantaneously again.

I tried setting it to windowed mode, but that hard-froze my machine and I had to use the reset button (even the power button didn't work)..

When I restarted, it started in windowed mode with the same flashing thing as with fullscreen. I reset it to fullscreen, and got a fullscreen display of the attached image (generated in gimp) and it hard-froze again. Any suggestions?

Radeon X800 XL with ATI drivers enabled - Ubuntu 8.04

----------------
I'm not sure if I have video effects enabled; I just know that it is set to whatever is the default setting
