Gothic I and II both run (nearly) flawlessly on Wine.  The last of the above messages indicate that you're running X in 32-bit depth, and the game is attempting to use 16bpp.  However, it looks like you're also using Intel graphics; this may not work with the Gothic games, even though they're somewhat old.  I played through the first Gothic in Wine (from gog.com) on a Mac with a GMA 3100, but I'm not sure if the Intel Linux graphics drivers are comparable to those of OS X.  It performed a bit slow-ish, but good enough for my taste.

Ubuntu has a bit of information on this with a link to a forum post; note that this is a distro-specific post and you'll need to follow up with the Ubuntu folks if you have trouble.  Not sure this specifically applies to 10.04 either, or will help/hurt your setup.

Basically you need to add any resolutions you'd like to use with Gothic in 16bpp depth to your X config.
