Description Matthew Swaringen 2007-07-12 04:43:26 UTC

Previously the nvidia-drivers-100.14.11 ebuild had something in it which was similar to the line in 100.14.09, which was
EMULTILIB_PKG="true"

This line was removed recently though, and an error I had thought fixed returned when I rebuilt nvidia-drivers today with my current kernel.

The issue is that when I attempt to launch wow in wine, it says that my video card lacks dual-tmu support, which is certainly impossible for a normal 8800 GTS with everything indicating that direct rendering/gl is working as expected.

The problem apparently lies somewhere with multilib, and I really lack the understanding to go into it further. The only thing I know is that by adding this line
EMULTILIB_PKG="true"
to the ebuild 100.14.11 as it exists now (immediately below restrict="strip") I was able to resolve the problem.

THere are some other minor differences between the 100.14.09 and 100.14.11 ebuilds but those didn't appear to cause me any issues.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install nvidia-drivers-100.14.11 on a gentoo-sources-2.6.21+ (kernel version probably doesn't matter but that's the one's I've been using)
2.Install wine
3. Try to run wow and notice a nice "Your video card lacks Dual TMU support blah blah" error.

Actual Results:
Happened as expected

I'm not sure if this should be put as "major" or just "normal." It's something that doesn't work and I'd say multilib is important and I presume it probably affects more than just wine.. but who knows. And it may not affect all wine games for that matter, this is the only one I play.

So I'll leave as normal assuming it only affects me, but if this affects other apps feel free to change.

Thanks!

Sorry about that, somehow didn't notice this was a duplicate.  I did look but I guess my inquiry didn't include the correct terms to find that other bug.

Thanks much.
