Well, I finally found the answer to my problems. I needed to re-emerge nvidia-glx (that's right--nvidia-glx, *not* nvidia-kernel!). mplayer works, wine works, xmms works. Though I'm not overly impressed with wine's performance. It's slower than it was on 2.4 without nptl. Though to be fair it doesn't seem to be wine that's going slow, it's X that's hogging all the resources. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get DGA to work in starcraft for battle.net.. - O -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
