None of these distributions come with graphics drivers fully support the
3d capabilities of the cards.  The game probably doesn't run because the
relevant 3D support is available.  I have run UT2004 on my own machine
it does work! :)

You will need the kernel-headers package installed to be able build the
drivers except if your using Fedora Core 3 which has them installed by
default.
