Additional Comments

* The failing of the background music, which became a regression issue since Wine 1.1.29 were solved since 1.2. * The override implying the disabling of the quartz.dll is no longer needed: Morrowind doesn't hang up or lag while changing the tracks of the soundtrack in-game. * In my system, it wasn't necessary to copy the msvcp60.dll library in the installation folder. * So, every issue is solved! And the game works flawlessly! * The gold rating is given because it's imperative to use a crack. Also, the Video folder from the Morrowind CD must be copied into the installation folder in order to get the game running.

About windows getting minimized, the workaround is pretty simple : the MenuStates of the .ini file is reset everytime you launch the game, which causes it to define minimized windows. What you need to do is chmod it to read-only (chmod 444 does the trick) after having changed the MenuStates parameters to suitable window sizes.

I got it to work with around 50 mods, the thing is the .ini file needs to update the modlist, so you first need to run Morrowind with a writable .ini file (chmod 644 works like a charm), then you can kill the process immediately afterwards (wineserver -k after Ctrl+Alt+F1 for instance), chmod the .ini to 444 after checking the MenuStates section is still well and about, and launch the game !
