32bit chrooted apps can't use OpenGL .
There's a lot of unfortunate back story to this, but I'll spare you all
and give you the current-day situation, as it stands, after a fresh
complete reinstall:
Because I cannot install the latest (7167) nvidia drivers via the method
listed in the HOWTO on alioth, I've attempted installing them via
nvidia's own installer. It worked just fine, although it warned me that
I should be running 2.6.11+. Then about two hours later, I found out as
X crashed in a flaming ball of death. So, I rolled back to 6629 (using
nvidia's own drivers). These work perfectly, as they did before.
However. In the 32bit chroot, I have installed 7167 via apt-get
install, because, as far as I can tell, there is no way to install 6629
from nvidia's own installer (because it complains that it's an amd64
system, even while in the chroot) and the only version available in my
unstable 32bit chroot is 7167.
So in lieu of installing 2.6.11 (which I'll probably end up doing, but
I've gotten rather happy with debian-provided kernels) what other
options do I have? Any idea when 2.6.11.X will be available in sid/amd64?
Thanks,
Zaq
