Very funny :(( I didn't remove any packages and it stopped working. I
have no way of knowing which packages I might need now. Apparently none
of the 32bit apps that use SDL work anymore since they broke it, and the
reasons for that are unknown.

I don't have any 32bit software from Debian packages. Everything I need
from that is available in 64bit. The 32bit apps I have are not
available in Debian and they worked fine, then the NVIDA drivers were
updated and they don't work anymore since then. I sent a bug report
weeks ago and it is being ignored.
So again, what packages do I need to install now to get it working as it
did before? The 32bit apps have not changed and still depend on the
same things, whatever they are.
Which x-server package(s) do you need to have installed to use the
NVIDIA drivers from NVIDIAs website? Is there some documentation about
how to switch back from the NVIDIA drivers that are in Debian?
