Ah, now, that's where you're missing a point.  The error message in question
does *not* come from Wine, it comes from the RAGE game itself.

You'll notice that right from the beginning the reporter logged both the Wine
output (rather uninformative in this particular case) together with the "RAGE
console output" (second attachment).  This output, as far as I can tell (it's
the *only* conversation I've managed to have with the game so far) is entirely
generated by the game itself and is nothing to do with Wine.  In particular
it's from *this* output that the error message "ERROR: SetPixelFormat failed"
comes; this is nothing to do with Wine.

So, I think the game *is* trying to tell us something...
