Thanks, but it's not a wine bug. The problem is that xrandr doesn't
think 640x480 and 800x600 are valid modes on my laptop so when I launch
Diablo II I get a dialog box that says:

Title: "Diablo II Critical Error"
Message: "Error 25: A critical error has occurred while initializing
Direct3D."

I'm sure this will get fixed eventually.

Thanks,
Eric
