Thanks for your response.

I began digging around in my xorg.conf and checking some of my archived versions.  I did see the "glx" module had been
present in past files, so I put that back in.  However, the programs ran w/Wine would all freeze.

Actually, I fiddled around a lot (different video cards/config files), so I'm not sure what I did but Wine is working
again.  Sorry for anyone who stumbles on this thread.

Thanks all the same,
Eric P.
