wine users - Nov 2010 - World of Warcraft - IBM T400 Intel Graphics, FC13 - opengl

Greeting folks -- 

   1) I have wow running fine in recent wine on a Gentoo system with Nvidia
graphics card
   2) No, I have never successfully gotten wow running in opengl on the lenovo
(ibm) t400
  
  I'm just trying to get it running:
  Lenovo is running FC13, with much stuff from updates-testing - the Lenovo is
using the Intel GM945 chipset for video.

I can get the game running in d3d mode with wine from updates-testing (or
compiled from source from sourceforge.com) - with playable frame rates, but my
preference, and stubborness, require that I get opengl mode working.

   When starting (either launcher/wow) with opengl (and or SET gxApi opengl) I
have a failure immediately after getting zoned into the game (time frame is
usually 5 or 6 seconds of runtime)

   The abort clearly comes from this section (from WINEDEBUG=+opengl)

   Can anyone make a suggestion as to a) my next steps for debugging and b)
what/where I should go next?
   (the error above is the exit point with -opengl for both the wine (1.3.7 from
updates testing or 1.3.8 from source code)  and **apparently** is an identical
error on both code bases, and all 10 characters I have on wow.

  I've pushed the edge on Xorg, and video drivers on this machine ---- any
other hints/suggestions would be greatly appreciated (and  possibly will make
this machine raid capable, which it most definitely is not in d3d mode.
