wine users - Dec 2005 - GL error crashes wine

Hello wine-users.  I've got a problem.  Whenever I run wine with a
Windows program that uses OpenGL, it gives me this message:

err:opengl:X11DRV_ChoosePixelFormat glXChooseFBConfig returns NULL (glError: 0)

and quits.  I have no idea what this means or how to fix it. 
Furthurmore, it is very annoying.  I've tried the official release as
well as the CVS version, neither works.  What can I do about this?

This was recently discussed on wine-devel:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.wine.devel/36976

It concluded that there exists a couple of reasons why
glXChooseFBConfig might return NULL, but fortunately Wine can fall
back to ChooseVisual when it does.  I don't think anyone has coded a
patch yet, although you might want to check one of the commit logs.

You might want to chime in over on wine-devel with your GLX version, X
version, gfx driver version etc.
