Your opengl is not configured properly. Read the Doom3 FAQ at http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/doom/ for more information. Also, no games bug is *EVER* a blocker, as games are not vital parts of the system and this error is definitely local to your configuration, not a problem with the distribution.
