I' sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by "it works
(complaining)".

This is incompatible with your statement that you only have acceleration
on one head, unless your card is able to switch which head is accelerated
on-the-fly.

wine-0.9.24 has been the first release to include Xinerama support. What
I think is happening is that wine somehow screws up Xinerama (the NVidia
drivers might be involved, NVidia has a history of releasing buggy
drivers), and that this has to be undone by a reset of the X server.
A thought that occured to me: After you have run winecfg, and 3D no
longer works, could you make sure there are no processes related to wine
left? I.e., look at the output of ps axf and kill everything that looks
like wine.
