Well I did... same issue. As for it being the normal way, it's pretty much what portage does, it uses the regular nvidia install file and passes it "silent install" options. I did recompile my kernel using gcc 4.5, that hasn't made a difference either. However, I did some more testing, I do agree it's the graphics drivers but I don't know how to proceed. The games that require 64bit opengl work perfectly but older 32bit linked games simply fail. I tried it with x2 and that failed. Code: { [0xf777c400] ./x2(XOpenDisplay+0xa3e) [0x8050972] ./x2() [0x8053346] ./x2() [0x8101faf] /lib32/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0xf7499cc6] ./x2(XMapRaised+0x3d) [0x804ffd1] } I'm going to upgrade glibc on my laptop and go from there. This appears to be more of a gcc 4.5 compiling latest glibc problem, I didn't think this was with wine but good place to ask for help!
