Description:
Hey. I've problem with quake wars on new nvidia drivers. After kernel, nvidia and nvidia-utils (from 169.09-2 to 169.12.1) upgrade quake wars crashes after about ~5 minutes of playing. Before upgrade it was working fine, without any problems. Direct rendering is working, glxgears too. I've tried to look in qw log (cd ~/ETQW, ./etqw | tee ~/log or ./etqw > ~/log) but when I do this it hangs up on "loading ui".

Additional info:
* package versions
nvidia - 169.12.1
nvidia-utils - 169.12.1
kernel26 - 26.24.3-3
* config and/or log files etc.
xorg.conf - http://wklej.org/id/a6d654efa9
Arch is up-to-date.

Steps to reproduce:
Install quake wars, upgrade nvidia drivers to the newest version, launch, join some server, play and wait for a crash.
This task depends upon

looks like nvidia guys introduced some bug. :-/
You can try update packages to version 171.06, maybe it has some fix.

At least the demo does run for me.

ETQW has run perfectly for me for a very long time now, currently I'm on:

nvidia 169.12-2
nvidia-utils 169.12-1
kernel26 2.6.24.4-1
gf8600GT

system is updated daily so I should have passed barteks config.
