Ubuntu – Wine is no longer able to initialize OpenGL

Since a while, wine is no longer able to initialize OpenGL on my 64bit Linux. This is by no means a unique problem to me- Lots of people with nvidia cards running 64bit linux seem to have this problem with wine on oneiric:

• http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=66856&sid=9d6e5ad628ee6fb6e5ef04577275daed
• http://forum.pinguyos.com/Thread-Wine-OpenGl-Problem
• https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=137696

And while some launchpad bug reports say one should use this workaround:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/nvidia-current/libGL.so.1 wine <app>

It unfortunately does not solve the problem at all for me; That is, if i'd run CS:S, the game will run just fine for a while, but will abort after some time, including a range of GLSL-related errors.

Here the startup errors from simply running steam:

Here are the errors reported while running, and after running (because the log is huge-ish, it's pasted elsewhere): http://paste.ubuntu.com/901925/

Now, 32bit OpenGL works just fine; The 32bit executables of Nexuiz, for example, work just fine. That being said, I'm suspecting that this is a problem of wine itself.

I've already manually built the git version of wine, to no avail.

So what's going on? Is something broken? How do I check (correctly) whether something is broken? How do I solve this?

Additional Information:

• My GPU:

  $ lspci | grep VGA
  01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G92 [GeForce 9800 GT] (rev a2)
  

• Installed via DPKG (using the 'Ubuntu X-Swat' PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates).

  • Driver version: 295.33
  • The error also occurs when manually installing the latest driver, though.
  • glxinfo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/906976/
  • glxinfo from 32bit executables of mesa-utils (apt-get download'ed and unpacked, etc): http://paste.ubuntu.com/906980/

• Version of wine: wine-1.5.0 (manually built from the GIT repository, however the prebuilt version triggers the same error, as explained above)

• Desktop Env: KDE4.2, but same error occurs under GNOME and XFCE likewise.

• Kernel stuff (uname -a): Linux leuchtturm 3.0.0-17-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 8 20:45:39 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

• Tried a clean wine prefix (WINEPREFIX=$HOME/tmp/wine wine ...), didn't help either.

Some more possibly related information:

When running the Direct3D application from an old bug opened by me, wine doesn't report any OpenGL errors at all: http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=25707 (source is included, it's just a really trivial test app).

I'm not sure what the heck is going on.
