wine users - Jul 2008 - Starting DirectX game screws up display (ATI Catalyst 8.6)

Hi,
since installing the new ATI Catalyst 8.6 drivers - starting games (or sometimes
even starting winecfg) screws up my display and I have to restart the xserver.
(amd x2 4000+, ati hd2600 xt, wine version is 1.1.1
 on Ubuntu Hardy updated every day) Looks similar to this photo:

However, if i take a screenshot by pressing the "print" key the image
recorded shows a normal screen. So I guess this is more driver related but still
caused by some wine call.
Unfortunately I cannot downgrade to the old driver, because with Catalyst 8.5 I
just get a black screen staring EVE-Online (which is the main reason I want to
use wine). With 8.6 i can see through the screw up display the eve windows - so
it seams to work.

Any hints on this?

That's a known bug with the Catalyst 8.6 driver:

Thanks for the hint - unfortunately after updating to the new driver which was
released yesterday this still happens.  :(
So I guess I buy Nvidia next time...

Men i haved the same problem whit very much aplication , crash the screen how to
the picture , and i installed the new catalyst 8.7 , not for the way automatic
./ , follow this guide
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide

, before install you most be installed :
# libstdc++
# libgcc
# XFree86-libs
# fontconfig
# freetype
# zlib
# gcc 

and enabled posix shared memory  :
sudo /etc/fstab  is open fstab and add the next line :
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
close and save and :
sudo mount /dev/shm  
for check this 
mount | grep "shm"

If the mount was successful, then the following output (or similar) should
appear:
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) 

i hope help you ,  and sorry for my english :D

I tried to install the 8.6 catalyst like on the wiki-link you posted, but didnt
work for me. had a white screen. with the new 8.7 everything works great (except
the video-bug with compiz and this problem were triying to fix here)
