[Wine]config file (or lack thereof) question, turning off ttydrv

[frustrated]

I am TRYING to use the most recent release of wine. 

Am I correct to assume that there is no longer a .wine/config file? 

Am I also correct to assume that all documentation still refers to the 
.wine/config file, and gives NO F*CKING help about how to use the new 
system? 

If these two assumptions are correct, it seems to be a real stupid way to do 
things.  How is a new user EVER supposed to get this SH*T figured out?? 

I was trying to take care of the problem where my terminal spews crap like:

I found that I probably need to configure the x11drv, or tell wine to use 
that instead of ttydrv, but how does one do that when the documentation 
politely tells you that these settings are configured in ~/.wine/config? 

It seems like development is going well, but you guys really don't care 
about alienating new adoptees. 

I've set up a lot of linux apps, including mythtv, but the obtuseness of the 
documentation vs. the product is bewieldering. 

TIA,
