I have a /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1 from the ia32-libs package apt-file search libGL.so.1 ia32-libs: /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1 ia32-libs: /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1.2 Yet, installing nvidia-glx-ia32 might also provide you with the necessary file: nvidia-glx-ia32: /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 nvidia-glx-ia32: /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libGL.so.173.14.09 My understanding, though is that nvidia-glx-ia32 is for 32-bit xserver environments (eg. xfree86).
I do not notice any problem with the version of libGL.so.1 I use. quake3 does something like 90 fps at the highest quality on my laptop.

Just install nvidia-kernel-source, nvidia-kernel-common and nvidia-glx. Ignore the dependency problem of nvidia-glx for now. Continue doing a module-assistant prepare, m-a auto-install nvidia. That gives you a compiled kernel module, which will be automatically installed. At this moment the dependencies for nvidia-glx will be met so it will automatically be configured as well. Use "nvidia" as your graphics card driver in xorg (or use nvidia-settings as a tool to create an xorg for you) and everything should work. At least, for me that's the case ;) Sjoerd
