I will start out by saying I don't really know much about Direct Draw 
and DirectX in Wine (or in Windows for that matter). My general 
impression from lurking on the wine-devel list is that DirectX 8 support 
was fairly far along about two months ago. At that point, work started 
on DirectX 9, and the work was such that it would likely break some 
DirectX things. You might want to check out some discussion of this:

If the above comments are completely unrelated to your problem (a 
distinct possibility) then just ignore them ;)
