opengl stuff doesn't work in dchroot

So this used to work, I'd run my "32-bit only" games from a 32-bit chroot installation of Debian. Lately, I've been unable to play the 32-bit games. Doing some debug of the situation I've found that natively (in 64-bit) glxgears shows me the gears and everything is fine with glxinfo. When I use dchroot -d (to preserve the environment) I get this:

Code:

$ glxgears
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
$ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig

$

It seems that the 32-bit installation has no opengl capability! Attempting to fix this situation, I've just upgraded my nvidia drives and I have tried reinstalling all the *mesa* packages. The problem persists. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
-Greg

I got it working... apparently I forgot that I had to download and install the x86 version of the driver in the x86 chroot (using the "--no-x-check" and "--no-kernel-module" switches).

Yay.
