I don't have much to add on this except that ATI drivers are iffy on 
BSD while Nvidia seem to have deeper support.  That's my guess as what 
you are running into.  I have no clue why X-Forwarding crashes X.  That 
makes me think that this isn't a wine issue but fundamental instability 
in the ATI drivers on FreeBSD.
