Running Medal of Honor:AA on a system with a nVidia graphics card

Hi Guys,

  I'm in a situation where I know what the problem is, and what needs to be done, but I have no idea how to do it!

  I'm trying to play Medal of Honor Allied Assault on my machine, but the game crashes on startup. After a little searching I found out that the problem stems from when mohaa requests GL_EXTENSIONS from my graphics card. This string is too long and causes a stack overflow on mohaa which causes it to crash ( I guess the developers didn't think the string could get that long).


  I want to know if anyone knows a way to get around this problem. Is there anyway I can
      a) Change my GL_EXTENSIONS string
      b) write some sort of buffer program that intercepts the request and sends back a fake value
      c) Revert my drivers (safely) to one old enough that can support mohaa

On windows the nVidia control panel allows you set an option called "Extension Limit" to on, which sets the extension limit at 11A8.

Is there anyway to replicate this on Linux and hopefully get mohaa running on Linux (so I don't have to reboot just to play for a few minutes?)

Thanks,
