Missing ini?

Make sure you have your UT2004.ini in /home/YourName/.ut2004/System/ folder. That's my guess. I'm not entirely sure if it wouldn't re-make one though, since it should, at least in the Windows version.

Your best bet is to reinstall the game.

Do you have NVIDIA/ATI drivers installed? What is your graphics card? CPU? RAM?

EDIT: All right, nevermind about the above. Try playing an OpenGL game like tux racer. Does it work?

Try going to your /home/YourName/.ut2004/System directory. Open up the UT2004.ini with your favorite text editor. Remember that the dot before ut2004 means the directory is hidden (you have to set your file browser to unhide hidden directories).

After you open up the UT2004.ini, make sure the first 5 lines look like this:

[Engine.Engine]
RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice
;RenderDevice=Engine.NullRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=PixoDrv.PixoRenderDevice

The ; means that UT2004 will not use that device. The default, in all Linux installations, should be OpenGL but then again, it seems like something's wrong with your graphics drivers or the ini.
