Description Rob Smith 2004-11-18 10:50:34 UTC
With 66.29 and cedega(and maybe some other games), there's a bug that only allows 42 megs of the video card's ram to be used at a time. There is a patch to fix this, and the ebuild should be updated to include this patch. That patch can be found here:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=477802&postcount=19
and I shall also attach the patch to this bug.

Reproducible: Always

this problem is not cedega/wine specific and should be handled by the nvidia driver maintainers and not the wine team.
