I'm experiencing the same problem, both with a no-cd crack applied and without. It looks like it may be related to a display option, because I'm getting that same line about no matching mode found for 800x600. I've tried running it in a virtual desktop with some different resolutions set, but to no avail.

Most of the time, the "fixme:" lines don't cause game-halting problems, so you should always look for "err:" lines.
With this specific problem, it looks like the game wants to start up in 800x600, but you don't have a mode in your xorg.conf for 800x600. If you're using ubuntu, post the error line on the forums and let them help you (because I hate trying to fix ubuntu). If you're using another distro, you should be able to just add the mode line manually in xorg.conf using a text editor.
In my xorg.conf (in gentoo), the area you need to edit is under the section "Screen". There should be several "Display" subsections, each of which has a line labeled "Modes". Make sure that there is a "800x600" listed in that line.
Like I said, this won't work for ubuntu (because ubuntu wants to be as much like Windows as possible, even to the extent that they force you to reboot when you change your graphics settings), but it should work for any other distro.

Same problem here, running Wine 1.1.11 on Ubuntu Intrepid (64-bit). This obviously isn't a nocd crack problem, as I have the genuine game disks here with me, no crack installed and a different error message when attempting to run it without disc 1 in the drive.
Direct rendering is active, 800x600 (and 1024x768 -- tested that one as well) is in a mode line in my xorg.conf (might as well not be there -- my xorg.conf originally shipped without that subsection and worked fine anyway) and I still get no matching mode found.
My intuition tells me this might have to do with the color depth -- I have a nVidia graphics card (tested with both v173 and v177 of the drivers) and setting a color depth of 32 in xorg.conf makes the server die with "color depth not supported", 24-bit being the max available depth.

The reason for that warning has nothing to do with the no cd patch, and everything to do with a dll file called shaderapidx9.dll in the bin dir. Look at this:
