Same problem here. I'm running wine 0.9.17 on a P166MMX laptop without 3D card,
with stable Gentoo linux. Starcraft/Broodwar (a 2D, plain ddraw game!) crashes
with a message about GLX extension not found on display 0. SCBW worked fine with
some older  versions of wine, f.ex. 0.9.3.
When I compiled wine without openGL support, SCBW gave me 2 messages:

1) wined3d not found, needed by ddraw.dll
2) ddraw.dll not found (verified it was present)
-> crash

IMO it's idiotic that ddraw would need OpenGL. That is such a dirty hack.

At least make sure that wine d3d falls back to the old behaviour if no hardware
acceleration is possible!

My Gentoo Forums post about this issue (sorry, rant-ish):

You can safely mark this as confirmed.

Expected behaviour (and suggested fix): Wined3d (when doing ddraw rendering)
must fallback to X or DGA rendering when no HW accel possible.
