I finally got a successful installation on Ubuntu with the old Nvidia card I had laying around. My tests indicate the following:
ATi, propietary drivers - Only shadows, no textures
ATi, free drivers - Not working at all (missing 3D capabilities)
nVidia, propietary drivers - Works fine
nVidia, free drivers - Not working at all (missing 3D)
Intel 945 (onboard) - Not working, all I get are spots of colour on the "agree to the EULA" and server selection page, no text, nothing.
Thanks a lot for your help

I had to tweak the configuration a bit, as enabling HW Texel and HW shaders or Advanced Lightning makes the game really slow and not respond.
One final issue I have is that the game crashes whenever I minimise the window but I can live with that

Next, I will be installing CentOS alongside, to see what happens
