NWN Linux Help

anyone out there who is running linux NWN or knows somethinng about linux, Id love some help so I can get playing again.

I installed NWN SoU and HotU using Ravage's installer. I was getting a Segmentation Fault. (SDL parachute deployed) error. So everything I read told me to update my Nvidia drivers. Which I did. And now I get the same error anyway. Does anyone know how I can fix it, or suggestions for how? Ive only had linux for about a week. (since window died, check R&R for more details on that.) Oh I'm currently running mandrake 9.2 for my OS.

Thanks for any tips.

I have been running NWN (SoU) with Mandrake 9.2 without problems; my video card is an old Geforce4 MX Voyor gave to me when the on board one was giving a lot of problems. The drivers I downloaded worked out of the box: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5328-pkg1.run

I always test my video card by running Tuxracer (I believe it is installed by default). There is nothing more constructive I can offer; good luck!

Mhm, I have the nvidia driver installed now. I will reinstall the game and see if that helps.

well im reinstallinng, using biowares "install from windows install" option. It wants me to extract a binary file. Any Idea how to do this?
