Unreal tournament 2004 shows only a blank screen

[lorgonjortle]

Hello,
I just installed UT04 on my Ubuntu 9.04. I had one heck of a time doing so, but it's fine now. I went to run it, and the opening graphic shows, then my whole screen goes black, but I can still hear the game. I've read a ton of posts about changing the resolution, but when I try to change my resolution from 1280x800, it wont let me. It's the only option. I've also seen people saying it's because they are running Ubutnu 32bit on a 64bit architecture. I am also. I didn't have a 64bit CD, and I didn't think it mattered. Does it? I'll post my xorg.conf for you down at the bottom. Thanks for any help.

EDIT: I have an Acer Aspire 5100, and an ATI Radeon Xpress 1100.

ANOTHER EDIT: Desktop effects were working perfectly fine for me. I had compiz running and everything. Things are no longer working. (I turned effects off when I was working.) I think I need a graphics driver... I haven't found anything though.

Some have told me to add some stuff. So I tried this too:

Any console output when you run it from a terminal?

Alright, I reinstalled Ubuntu. this time I put on 64 bit. UT04 runs, but it's extremely slow. So slow that I can't click anything n the menu, because when I move my mouse, it is literally 3 seconds before it moves. Any ideas? Everything else runs fine.
