Found something else that worked pretty good...  I documented it on the
wiki.

Went from 320FPS to about 2200FPS... much nicer.  EQ runs pretty good in
winex now, and NWN looked pretty good for the 10s before it crashed.

Matter of fact, EQ died pretty bad on me after about 5 minutes.

I think, instead of trying to dick around and get Windows games to play nice
in Linux, I'd be better off dual-booting and playing my games in Windows
itself.  Nice thing about Win2k is that if I don't give it drivers for the
Promise card that all my Linux drives are attached to, it can't bugger
anything up.  =)
