wine users - Nov 2008 - Broken D3D?

Hi guys.  I've got a bit of a problem that I can't quite figure out and
I've not been able to find anything useful in relation to this issue. 
I've searched through these forums and on google, etc.. and have found
nothing so far that has helped.  My problem is with Fallout 3, which I know
isn't quite working entirely yet anyway.  It won't even start, but
should according to the appdb entries.

Here's the error I receive when running "wine fallout3.exe"

I get this same error when trying to start Warhammer Online as well.

I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 and using an Nvidia 8800 GTS and have tried wine
1.1.7 and 1.1.8 both packaged and compiled from source.   The first time through
compiling them, I noticed after ./configure that I was missing opengl header
files so I went back and installed libgl1-mesa-dev and that seemed to fix the
issue, but still no luck on getting anywhere past this error message.  I have
tried reinstalling DX9 via winecfg and with the August 08 redistributable.

I'm just a little bit lost about where to go from here.  I have a feeling
that this is something very simple, I just can't put a finger on it.  I know
that the newest Xorg doesn't rely on xorg.conf anymore, but is DRI support
required?  The nvidia driver is loaded and the control panel shows that
everything's working as normal.  I can post something else here if it would
help.

Any ideas?  Thanks!

Looks like it does not run on Wine 1.1.7.  Try Wine 1.1.8 that was just
released.

James, 

Thanks for the reply.  I have tried with 1.1.8 as well and still have the same
problem.  Others have succeeded with 1.1.7 (which I have also tried) and have at
least gotten in before it crashed.  The link which you provided is not the one
that seems to be used right now.

That's where I'm getting most of my info concerning this particular
game.  I was hoping this was more of a generic problem that concerned directx.
