There is a point at the end of all this. Actually if you read the post to the end the problem was resolved by wine. There is currently a patch that I have applied to wine 1.1.18. Bug report at fedora posted at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=489144 There is are attachment a couple of attachements in the above mentioned bug report that includes a working spec file and the patch. Please note that wine, for some reason can only be built under mock. I tried to compile it in a i386 machine with no luck. And as you can see from the bug report. The packager hasn't bothered to respond at all. With the original bug report over at http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12560 Under 180.44 there is some kind of rendering issue that has nothing to do with S3TC. It looks like something wrong with OpenGL under some conditions. Which means that if you are using compiz or desktop effects, you could run into some trouble under some circumstances despite what NVidia reports as things being fixed for KDE. While something might be fixed. It certainly has broken something else. And plasma seems to work just fine under 180.29. At least for me. At least for now. So again. If it were me (and its not) :) Currently I would stick with 180.29 unless something really compelling came up.
