Ok, I have NWN running on Debian/Unstable (and am mighty addicted). 
Firstly, what kind of video card are you using?  Are you using the
vendor's drivers, or DRI/XFree drivers?

Secondly, have you upgraded your windows install of NWN to 1.29?  If
not, do it, and copy over all the data again.  There were MD5 sums of
all the required files posted somewhere on nwn.bioware.com, I can't
remember exactly where tho.  Make sure these match.

Lastly, which beta version are you using?  1.29beta4 works fine for me,
betas 1-3 didn't (apparently it was a problem with ATI's drivers).

Hope these pointers help!  Although, it may not be a good thing to get
it working ;-)

Q. Why should I place my response below the quoted text?
