[Solved] Oblivion Crashes at Start

Hi, I've looked through every thing on the appdb page but I still get this error.

wine .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Bethesda\ Softworks/Oblivion/OblivionLauncher.exe 
 X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  143 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
  Value in failed request:  0x21
  Serial number of failed request:  1704
  Current serial number in output stream:  1704

Info:

I followed the UESP page for installing on Linux and edited it where necessary.

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Linux

I have an Asus M51SN-x2.  Nvidia 9500M, 4Gb of ram, and plenty of cpu power.  It shouldn't be having this issue.  Drivers, etc. are completely up to date. 

The only issue I can think of is that it is having an issue with Wine 1.1.6. I sort of nixed that idea though when I compiled(but did not install) Wine 1.0.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I am unsure why this works because I can't see why it should need it's own video drivers installed, but it worked.  This is all inside a 32bit chroot enviroment, and I hadn't installed the nvidia drivers for it or anything.. so yeah.. I did that and wala! it works =/

Mods feel free to delete this.
