My config is actually almost to the sample config that wine originally
installed for me.  I've changed very little.  The principal differences
are in additional paths and drives, and opting for managed windows.  Why
the WinMM section vanished, I don't know; I've recopied the WinMM section
from the sample, but wine still complains that it's not properly set up.


Funny thing is, I was running Wine on this same machine about five years 
ago, and at the time, I never had all this trouble; it Just Worked.  I had 
a different video card then, though, and I was using XFree86, not AccelX.
(I'm running AccelX because I've found XFree86's support for the Matrox 
Millennium II at 1600x1200 sucks.)

Now I just tweaked some of the x11drv settings again, and I think I'm
getting closer ....  I set both "managed" and "desktop" to N, turned off
all X extensions, and set screen depth to 8.  I've now tried all rational
combinations of "Managed" and "Desktop" settings, XShm on and off,
DesktopDoubleBuffered on and off, PrivateColorMap on and off, and I still
have audio but no video, and the following runtime messages:

babylon5:alaric:~:36 $ wine --debugmsg fixme-font,fixme-keyboard 
d:\\install.exe
Building font metrics. This may take some time...
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Serial number of failed request:  73
  Current serial number in output stream:  81

This leaves the following processes running:

11897 ?        S      0:00 wineserver
12048 pts/4    S      0:00 wine --debugmsg fixme-font,fixme-keyboard d:\install.exe
12049 pts/4    S      0:00 wine --debugmsg fixme-font,fixme-keyboard d:\install.exe
12050 pts/4    S      0:00 wine --debugmsg fixme-font,fixme-keyboard d:\install.exe

I tried copying over a couple of standard Windows programs (sol.exe and 
winmine.exe) and they both yield the following result:

babylon5:alaric:~:54 $ wine --debugmsg fixme-font,fixme-keyboard 
c:\\windows\\sol.exe

0x40ab6d44 "x11drv_main.c: X11DRV_CritSection" wait timed out, retrying

this leaves the following processes:

12338 pts/4    S      0:01 wine --debugmsg fixme-font,fixme-keyboard c:\windows\sol.exe
