wine users - Jan 2010 - Forged Alliance, Ubuntu9.10

hello, iam new to ubuntu and tried to setup forged alliance, i installed it and
patched the game using winetools but everytime i start it it tells me:

"unable to start - Unable to create Direct3D"
Please ensure system has current video drivers.

i use the latest video drivers from nvidia ( version 185 ) which ubuntu
recommends.

i also tried those playonlinux scripts, and to patch it on a vm.. patchting and
safemod do always work fine but starting fails.

my graphic card is an nvidia gts 250.

I tried to start WoW and Warcraft3 from my windows partition and they worked
both.

i get this error in the terminal window:

i created those Direct3D registry keys as mentioned here (
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7038 ) and set
my Color Depth under System > Preferences > Display to 24Bit.

my nvidia x server is configured to use twinview and iam using 2 displays.

can anyone point me in the right direction ? any advice would be appreciated. 

thanks

ok i switchted to 2X screens and now its working...!
