No detailed player shadows w/ nvidia 5700 ultra in AA

I'm running linux 2.6.10 with an nvidia 5700 ultra but whenever I have player shadows set to detailed in America's Army, it's just like shadows are turned off. I can only see blob shadows. Any suggestions?

[Software]
Kernel: 2.6.10
Vidcard driver version: 1.0.6629
Direct Rendering: Working
AA version: 2.2.1

[Hardware]
Cpu: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+
Vidcard: nVidia Corporation NV 36 [GeForce 5700 Ultra] (rev 161). 8x AGP

I got word that no Linux AA has dynamic shadows due to the rendering or something.

Actually, that's right. The Linux versions of AA only have blob shadows, so you can only either turn them on or off.
