Traceback for the crash

Although the game is part of the Wine Gold list, it fails to start with a
traceback (see attached file) that shows an attempt to switch the display's
resolution to a refresh rate of several megahertz (which of course no graphics
hardware is capable of).

The screen switches resolutions to 800x600, shows a "Loading..." text on a grey
background and just hangs until I kill it (which is where the traceback ends).

I'm using an official Wine 1.1.12 release (from
http://winehq.org/download/deb), but the problem was present in 1.1.11 as well.

I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid (64-bit). My graphics card is a GeForce 8400M
GS running into the builtin LCD of my Dell XPS M1330 laptop. The problem occurs
with both versions 173 and 177 of the nVidia drivers.

The tested version of the game is the retail CD version (both with and without
nocd cracks), patched to 1.2 then to the community patch at
http://www.planetvampire.com/bloodlines/files/patches/

As discussed at
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4949 , at least
one other user (running ArchLinux with an nVidia FX 5200) has the same problem.
