Many thanks, you are my hero! That did it. Now all ubuntu-packaged games I have tried work.
However, ut2004 exits with the following message:

Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
WARNING: ALC_EXT_capture is subject to change!
Either GL_EXT_bgra or glDrawRangeElements not supported- bailing out.

History:

Exiting due to error

Obviously DRI should be missing, and there has not been any problems on gentoo amd64 with this
game. 

Any ideas about this?
