Hi Alan!

This will not work. The problem is missing libxvmc1:ii386, which got a 
dependency problem. There is a bugreport related to it. They say, it was fixed 
by adding a new libnvidiaxvmc1, but it is still not. Got the same problem 
still here. 

By installing libxvmc1:i386, it wants to deinstall several other applications.

Solution: Just install the installer from Nvidia's site. Works like a charm!

Good luck

Hans
