No it cannot. I have GeForce 7600 and tried different drivers (8xxx and 9xxx
from NVidia, NV free driver, VESA driver). Also I have tried old GeForce 4600
Ti with all above mentioned drivers. Bug is present everywhere! Anyway
current "fix" isn't a fix at all anyway. Only real and correct fix - create
child windows for OpenGL windows (there is some work has been done and even
some experimental patches has been created recently; read wine-devel list for
more info).

Only card that works is Quadro but almost everybody has GeForce. And problem
isn't in driver - I tried 9629 too with both new GeForce 7600 and old GeForce
4600 Ti. No difference. Anyway even when this hack works - it isn't works in
all cases anyway. Therefore I (and not only I) hope that Chris Robinson'
patches (when they will be ready) will be included in Wine tree soon. But for
now it has been at least proved that it is possible to create child windows for
OpenGL windows and resolve this bug forever without introducing new bugs and
without any performance problems.
