check the howto, that's why you are supposed to mount your proc, tmp
and home dir into the chroot.

If you install the 32bit libs from the amd64 nvidia package in your
chroot, you should be able to run everything (with the chroot setup
correctly).

do the nvidia libs in your chroot have a different version number than
the ones you are running XFree with and did build the kernel module?

sounds like you messed up the drivers versions to me, at least for my
experience with Q2, Q3 and UT2k4 I can say it works like a charm - Q2 in
my i386 chroot, Q3 with ia32-libs and the native amd64 demo of ut2k4.

I guess the installer refuses to install on non-i386 systems...
