Not fixed for me, bug is not ready for close. 1.1.8 wine did not fix it, in combination with 8.10 driver did not fix it either. When playing GTA2 I still get the libGL error mem allocation fails.
Did you install the proper dll files and make all the INI tweaks specified here: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Linux
My card is an X1800 256mb. Also, I have 4GB of system RAM on a 64 bit OS. If this truly is a memory problem then it may only be for systems with less RAM or 32 bit systems.
There are a bunch of other tweaks you can try to reduce memory footprint. There are texture overhauls, polygon reducers, shader tweaks, etc. I can show you my INI file. Certain INI settings crash the game, especially water shader settings.
