That's interesting...can you try it with Gnome or only with a window
manager? (I'd think twm would be the best bet to get rid of possible interactions with the
window manager.)

That libGL.a is from mesag-dev. I also don't have a libGLU.so.1.3. I
have mesag-dev 3.2.1-1 and mesag3 3.2.1-1. You don't have
mesag3-glide, do you? When I installed qt2.2, dselect really wanted
to install the glide libraries and I had to change several of it's
default selections to prevent that.

Right. From what I've seen, it always does the blue flickers on
GeForce cards, but it seems as though it's normally more like 3-4 seconds.

Ok, it doesn't hurt to confirm that it's broken ;-).

AFAIK, those warning are ok and I've gotten so accustomed to seeing
them that I don't really notice them anymore. Have you confirmed that
the kernel module does load correctly?
You could try this...I don't think it will help you, but it's worth a
shot:
# your pre-existing screen section
Section "Screen"
...
# adding this option disables AGP.
# a "1" will enable AGP (the default)
Option "NvAgp" "0"
...
EndSection

Nope, costs just as much as the Windows version. Now I'm not
condoning piracy here, but I will note that the CD keys for the Linux
version also work on the Windows version of the game. I don't mind
paying for a game that I play for a while since it eventually ends up
being cheaper than going to the movies, or even renting videos.
