Possibly. Are you using ATI's drivers and gl? If not, I'd start by
installing that. Failing that, if you have access to an nVidia card, try
using that instead; nVidia's drivers are a tad more up to snuff for gaming on
Linux.

I'm starting to wonder if my problems with this game and with Knights of the Old Republic are related to my Intel Graphics Card.

Good possibility, Intel makes crappy drivers. Any chance you can test
on nvidia hardware?

Unfortunately not, I mainly use my laptop at home and don't really have any spare computers lying around at the moment.
