The thing about matching GLX visual has to do with opengl. Are you sure you 
have X configured to load the opengl modules and direct rendiring 
infrastructure (dri)? If not, you can change this in your XF86Config file, 
which on most systems is located in the /etc/X11 directory. If that doesn't 
work, you can run it in software mode by typing ut2004demo -software. /dev/
dsp is the standard device file for the OSS sound driver on a GNU/Linux 
system. There is probably a way to run the game without sound if it fails to 
start.
