I don't think this is a real problem

Well, it would better if we have the source :)
But seems the game need Render On Texture support who is not supported by 
current Wine OpenGL implementation as on windows is an WGL extension (and GLX 
extensions mapping isn't done)

As to lionel why he dont look for openGL bugs reports :p

If its really render on texture the problem, it shouldn't be too difficult to 
implement (using GLX buffers/pixmaps extensions i think)

Well Oliver is working a lot on this tree to split into small patches, and i 
have to send some patches.
I think it shouldn't be long before an almost working d3d9.dll
