I didn't realize using a 32 bit driver in a 64 bit environment is in fact using a driver for another architecture.
I read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec and indeed, ia32-libs is "a monstrous source package".
I also noticed the "Multiarch xserver/mesa is in [...] being uploaded to natty [...] will take some time" posted 50 days ado.

I know multiarch is something new and need maturing/testing.
I think it should be great to use this bug to track this process and let users who want to test it (like me) report their issues.

Let me know what you want to do, including closing this bug if you think it's invalid.

Thx
