[ATrpms-users] 32-bit NVidia libs in 64-bit atrpms

A recent upgrade of my FC6 64-bit box broke a lot of games: I could
not play Doom3 and most of Cedega games like KOTOR, they would all
crash. After some searching I eventually tracked the problem to NVidia
libraries: I had only the 64-bit RPM installed, and the games need
32-bit one. RPMs nvidia-graphics9746-libs-1.0_9746-85.fc6.at.x86_64
and nvidia-graphics9746-libs-1.0_9746-85.fc6.at.i386 coexist fine, so
there is no reason not to have both, but the 32-bit version is
available only in the 32-bit version of atrpms.

Now, in some of the repositories, like Fedora base and updates, some
32-bit libs are included in the 64-bit distribution. Not so in this
case with atrpms. Is the recommended mode of operation to have both
atrpms64 and atrpms32 configured? If not, is it possible to add 32-bit
Nvidia libs to atrpms64?
