wine users - May 2001 - Starcraft Problems

Recently when I've been trying to run starcraft I've been getting

fixme:console:SetConsoleCtrlHandler (0x4c70c0,1) - no error checking or
testing yet

Then the mouse cursor vanishes and X stops responding. I can still drop
to a virtual terminal and do killall wine which results in the following
being spewed to the terminal.

fixme:module:CreateProcessA (C:\windows\system\ddhelp.exe,...):
NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS ignored
fixme:pthread_kill_other_threads_np
FIXME:pthread_rwlock_rdlock
FIXME:pthread_rwlock_unlock
FIXME:pthread_rwlock_rdlock
FIXME:pthread_rwlock_unlock
FIXME:pthread_rwlock_rdlock
FIXME:pthread_rwlock_unlock

fixme:dc:GetDeviceCaps (0088,94): DeviceCaps param CAPS1 is
UNIMPLEMENTED, will yield 0!
fixme:dc:GetDeviceCaps (0088,94): unsupported DeviceCaps capability,
will yield 0!
Terminated

Occasionally, however, it will work, but I get an error dialog on the
screen with the title "Directdraw Error" and on the terminal I get 

fixme:console:SetConsoleCtrlHandler (0x4c70c0,1) - no error checking or
testing yet

fixme:win32:DEVICE_Open Unknown VxD DDRAW.VXD. Try --winver nt40 or
win31 !

The DDRAW.VXD file is in c:\windows\system and trying --winver nt40
doesn't change the result and --winver win31 just doesn't work :)

This is with wine from CVS dated 20010508

[Replying to self]
Just after I sent this mail I went back to reading the archives, and
running wine with -dll DDRAW=b seems to make it run.

Is there a way to do this automatically? I have
"ddraw" = "builtin, native"
in my ~/.wine/config file, but it doesn't seem to help.
