Yes, sadly it is. Seems no one cared for this till then. It looks like a
problem with libxvmc1, which is needed for 32-bit acceleration.
But, installing this lib will deinstall several other applications, which is
surely not wanted. It is just a dependency problem.
I believe, there is a bugreport related to this, but it is months old.
The best way is just to install the friver with the script from the nvidia
site. Works like a charm.
