Linux UT2004 w/ Radeon 9800 or 9600 Pro

Ok.... I'm willing to plead stupid at this point.

A little background information:

My wife and I have been playing UT2004 under Debian GNU/Linux for a few
weeks now. Up to this point, we've both been using nVidia cards (GF4
440MX and GF FX 5200 respectively). Other than the occassional SEGV the
game has been working well.

Today, I received our new ATI cards (9600 Pro and 9800 Pro
respectively). This is the first time I've tried using an ATI card (at
least a recent model with decent 3D support) under Linux.

This brings me to my problem. Both systems, with their new cards, are
able to run UT2003 with no problems. Running "glxinfo" indicates that
DRI is enabled. So, I'm pretty sure I've got the cards configured right.
However, trying to run UT2004 on either system results in the following
shortly after the splash screen:

------
$ ut2004
WARNING: ALC_EXT_capture is subject to change!
Signal: SIGSEGV [segmentation fault]
Aborting.

So, any ideas on what I've done wrong? I'm assuming that someone out
there has managed to get UT2004 running under Linux with an ATI 9600 or
9800 Pro.

Just to add to the list of working games, the following run fine on my
system with either the 9800 Pro or GF FX 5200:

- Quake 3
- UT
- UT2003
- RtCW
- NWN
