So, is this is > multiarch or not? It sounds like it's not intended to be multiarch. It's not trivial to change the userland, and the package manager does not natively support multiarch. ia32-libs exists because of the need for 32-bit libraries in 64-bit. > I would agree with Corbin that this is NOTABUG since this case is pretty > convoluted and no one has ever needed it before.

I'm not sure about ia32-libs' history as I've only switched to 64-bit Ubuntu relatively recently (after Ubuntu 9.04's release), but I've talked to other developers and am personally an Ubuntu Contributing Developer myself. The bug in Ubuntu which I linked in comment #8 was filed on 2008-07-14, but never really got much attention, probably because not many actually played 32-bit GPU intensive games on 64-bit Ubuntu with Intel graphics. I myself did not notice that Wine was not getting direct rendering until the whole issue with Wine segfaulting as a result of a bad FBO returned by mesa under indirect rendering took place. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
