I thought VRamSizeDX9 problem could be related to this issue because, its the utility created by the ENB mod developer to find out optimal video memory settings to use in Skyrim, and it only reports half of the total video memory I actually have, and my Skyrim actually freezes with out of memory when it consumes more or less the reported amount of memory by the utility.

And as it seems that my log actually says it fals to allocate 'CPU memory', and I stumbled upon this thread about 32bit Wine's limitation for allocating more than 2Gb of memory:

Have I understood correctly that the program reports only 1,888mb because of such limitation? Then I wonder why they (both the utility and Skyrim) don't exhaust video ram before using system memory as they suppose to do.
Is there anything I should do to change this behavior?
There's a chance that the game will work better if you set VideMemorySize and/or video memory settings in Skyrim to some lower values. If the game won't try to use that much memory it won't exhaust system memory. Just a guess though.
