The message from the libGL indicates it is.

Nothing wrong about that. And you've been told what is the Wine hackers 
opinion about gotos. That's all. The hardest part in this project is to 
getting used to how things work here.

You ran all the tests. Which line out of the 100s of lines you attached 
indicate you got the same problem?

That's the patch for dxdign.dll since nothing else has provider.c. Or you 
pointed to the wrong bug?

Your card known to have hardware defect in it aggravated by the poor quality 
drivers. You can search bugzilla if you want more details. The point is you 
want to Wine developers to fix something that's broken somewhere else.

Then you are in the wrong place. You should be talking to ATI/AMD right 
about now.

It shouldn't unless that crash caused by the bogus information returned from 
the driver. Or worse yet the crash that hapenes in the driver itself. BTW 
what but number that is again? And where are the backtraces of the crash?

You see you haven't done any of the leg work, you don't have any of the 
usable bug reports opened with the information. You don't even have a usable 
back trace attached to any of the bugs. That's where you should start.
