The TLS is a strange thing,
I have not completely figured it out.
If you have the nvidia driver installed (which you have not
as far as I can tell) the tls stuff stands in the way
for some games/apps.
I you use the XFree.org nv driver you _need_ TLS ........

I don't know if Mandrake has the nvidia drivers,
many distros have a small script which downloads
and installs the drivers on your system.
To compile the package from source you need to have the
Kernel-Headers-2.XX.XX or the Kernel-Source-2.XX.XX package
installed.
The XX should match the version of your running kernel exactly:
to find out your kernel version: "uname -a" is the command.
Use following command to find out if you
have NVidia "all the way" :-)
glxinfo | grep vendor
Here 3 lines show up (for me at work
server glx vendor string: SGI
client glx vendor string: SGI
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project:
www.mesa3d.org
for me at home :
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
So, at work; no UT for me (unless using Software mode :-}
but at home it rocks.

I'm confused that you are able to play NeverWinterNights,
maybe UT requires a feature (GL_EXT_bgra) which NWN doesnt.
PLease check your /etc/XF86config for the nvidia driver,
and look at glxinfo (rinse, repeat .-)
Have Fun
UT2004 Full Version Error after install... HELP!
