Help with 3D games...

I just replaced my ATI card with the on-board Nvidia Geforce2.
I have installed the driver and all that, and OpenGL works fine.
I tried a couple OpenGL games for test purposes : Foobillard, Billard-gl,
and Tuxracer. They all work perfectly with good frame rates.

BUT, the game I happen to be really interested in, somehow doesn't turn 3D on !
It doesn't report any error in the terminal window, and in the
"graphics" option menu, it clearly states that it sees the Graphics
card, and that 3D is turned ON !
But it's not, the graphics are exactly the same (extremely 'blocky') as
when I force software rendering (for comparison purposes of course) with 
the --software_rendering command line option.

The game is a Helicopter flight simulator called "SearchAndRescue'.
You can find it in Synaptic in Universe. It takes only a few megabytes,
a matter of seconds if you have broadband.

I would be really soooo greateful if some people could install it, turn
all the 3D options on (textures, clouds etc...) and tell me if it
works ? and maybe show me a screen capture ?

Here is a link to a screen capture I just made...very blocky...
