What works
Installing the game; changing hardware settings (d3d vs glide, resolution, texture quality); general gameplay (moving around, interacting with objects); travelling from one worldspace to another (i.e., from Earth to Britannia); soundfx; music; in-game animations.
What does not
* Any graphical 'overlays': books can be opened, but no text appears; toolbelt, backpack, journal are all displayed as black areas on the main screen; text which is rendered directly on the main screen is too dark to be legible (this makes it impossible to read plaques, signs, and the options for your character's conversations).
* Spellbook does not work at all. This prevents the character from progressing from the very first stage of their sojourn in Britannia (there is a gate which can only be opened by using one of the spells)
* Cutscenes (movies).
Workarounds
What was not tested
Any options added / unlocked after the first stage of the character's stay in Britannia.

Additional Comments
The game may crash if you set the resolution very high (800x600 appears to work fine on my 128 ATI X700 card).

void set_window_cursor( Window window, HCURSOR handle )
{
/*

}

i suspect it is highly possible that it's kind of useless now with the rest commented out, function being void and all but well it's early morning and all (15:20) it's not possible to be cerrtain of anything yet.

it has been running very well and fast at new 1.0-rc1 (with MultiPassChromakey=0),
w/o the slowdowns of previous versions,
tho the mouse is still invisible at inventory, journal etc.
I also tryed unsuccessfuly the wine/hacks.git version. To try it, issue this command (you gotta have "git" installed...):
git clone repo.or.cz/wine/hacks.git wine-hack
So I hacked the mouse xD,
tho it is still a very "ugly" workaround...
but less annoying than not being able to see the mouse (if there had just a tiny picture to the mouse, it would be great, just 2 dots, one white and one black).
And it is so simple that I will just say here how to do:
1-compile your wine and install it
2-cd to your wine compiled source at
cd .../wine-1.0-rc1/dlls/winex11.drv
cp mouse.c mouse.c.bkp
cp winex11.drv.so winex11.drv.so.bkp
kwrite mouse.c
3-edit this mouse.c file by adding "if(!lpCursor)return;" just after the "{" like this:
...
void X11DRV_SetCursor( CURSORICONINFO *lpCursor )
{
if(!lpCursor)return;
...
4-save mouse.c file and close kwrite (with this code, you just prevented mouse pointer picture/image from being unset/cleared).
5-compile just this current path of wine
make
6-copy the file "winex11.drv.so" that has just been created, to your installed wine path at .../lib/wine/winex11.drv.so
6.1-you can backup that installed library also just cd to that path and
cp winex11.drv.so winex11.drv.so.bkp
7-thats it. run wine and see that ugly but usefull mouse xD
Be aware that all steps of all applications will "suffer" of the never hidden mouse "feature", even at intro movies etc...
To disable it just restore you backup library file.
