FYI - after seeing this thread, I installed the ut2004-demo, and it too ran slowly. Then I saw Alexander's comments, so I reinstalled dri, nvidia driver, and restarted xorg. Now, it's snappy fast (at 1920x1200!). Now if I can only figure out how to get my purchased copy running, so I'm not in demo mode...
