Wine and xorg-1.7.7_1,1

[rusty at gftm.eu]

I upgraded this box from 8.2-RELEASE to 8.2-STABLE over the weekend, redid all
my ports and tried out Lord of the Rings Online using the latest wine from the
mediafire repo.

The only image I see on loading the game is a 10mm sq box in the bottom left
corner of the wine window.
As the game had worked flawlessly before I upgraded I thought I'd try nvidia
256.53 and nvidia 275.40.19, no joy. I then tried 6 or 7 versions of wine from
the mediafire repo, no joy.
I installed wine via the chroot method per the freebsd wiki, no luck with that
either.

On another HDD I installed 9.0-CURRENT, setup xorg+wmii via packages and had the
same result as above.

Finally I put 8.2-RELEASE on another HDD, pulled in xorg+wmii via packages and
the game worked straight away.

8.2-STABLE and 9.0-CURRENT share the same xorg version 1.7.7_1,1 while
8.2-RELEASE has xorg 1.7.5_1,1

Games that can use OpenGL do work on 1.7.5_1,1 but don't on 1.7.7_1,1

Any ideas?
