Hello there,

Perhaps this is not the best place to pose this question, but the vaio
z's graphics seem to be the root of various different problems, so I
figured I would at least ask.  I am running 64 bit ubuntu karmic and
apparently wine needs 32 bit graphics libraries even on a 64-bit OS,
so I was wondering if it is ok to simply install the 32-bit drivers on
top of what I already have.  Or will that simply smash all the
symlinks? My 3D support for native linux apps seems to be fine using
the nvidia card.  Also, I don't have this problem if I use the jockey
script to install the drivers.  I assume that the FTP download only
installs the 64-bit drivers, as would make sense for a 64 bit system.
But then why does the jockey work? As you can see, I am quite
confused.  I would just use the 185 drivers, but they seem to have
slight problems with heat and performance, and would really be
appreciate being able to use the newer driver.
