wine users - May 2009 - Re: First-time wine user, having problems with Direct3D and EE2

I'm having this exact same problem.

OS: Ubuntu 9.04
Wine: 1.1.22
Nvidia Gforce 8800GT

When I try to start EE2, I get this error message:
> 
> FATAL PROBLEM at C:\EE2\src\EE2\Render.cpp:578:
> -->Failed to create Direct3D Device. Cannot continue.

This is what I get in terminal
