I don't understand what are you talking about? This is not "LoadModule"
this is GetModuleHandle - it will return valid handle only if we already
have loaded winex11.drv. And as you seen, every place that uses exported
functions, check if they were assigned.

This functions are driver specific. And I don't see any other driver
that we have. NULL driver doesn't count - it will not work for games or
anything that might use mouse.

What do you mean? It is specific Wine export and has no analogy with
anything else, let alone native.

As I explained, what we have to deal with is totally different from
native. And we have to do it totally different from native. Also,
existing moue grab code doesn't work for anything but some really old
ddraw programs. Out of 20 games I've tested here, none were able to grab
the mouse.
