sort of.  you can, of course, run 3D software only without hardware
support, but that makes most games unusable.  so without the _nvidia_
32-bit libs, it ain't gonna work.  of course this is a game under wine,
so it probably ain't gonna work anyway.

got 'em all.  this is a typical problem on 64-bit systems, some app
needs a 32-bit library of some sort, and it's not standard, or there's
some other problem.

this is really a very nvidia specific problem (I think).

Sadly, I have to deal with the non-free nvidia driver.

Thanks for the suggestions.
