wine users - Aug 2008 - VideoMemorySize registry key not being applied? [wine-1.1.2]

I am using Ubuntu Hardy, using the latest release of wine from the wine repos. I
have an nVidia 7600GT with 256MB of video memory. One windows game i installed,
Medal of Honor Allied Assault, has a simple config utility that sets game
settings based on your hardware. This utility is detecting only 64MB of video
memory.

I tried setting it using wine regedit, HKCU>Software>Wine>Direct3d

Set a string value under that named "VideoMemorySize" and set it to
256, the MOHAA Config still reports 64MB. I tried setting it as a decimal DWORD
value instead, same.

This could be a bug in the MOHAA config, but how do I know that other games are
taking advantage of more than 64MB?

Other Details:
nVidia Proprietary Driver 173.14.09 (Installed using EnvyNG)

Output of lspci -v -s 01:00.0:

All Wine registry entries are strings unless explicitly stated in
http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys

So you need to create string value and enter number (in megabytes). Your case
that would be "256".
