wine users - Oct 2008 - All games, black screen = configuration problem?

Dear community,

I am wondering what is my mistake. Since I got my new hardware components I
didn't manage it to get a game running through WINE. My configuration is the
following:

- current git WINE (compiled 30 minutes ago)
- Kubuntu 8.10 Intrepid AMD64 (64 bit edt.)
- AMD ATi Radeon HD 2600XT graphics card
- ATI Catalyst / fglrx driver

A friend gave me his copy of Far Cry 2 and Sacred 2 (both games brand new) to
try an installation in wine (That's what I always try before I even think of
buying a game). After all both installations run through smoothly, and only
minor changes are necessary to start the game. (few directx dlls etc.)

Far Cry only shows me a black screen, but I can hear the game/intro sound
clearly.

Sacred 2 shows the "sacred-intro" with major lags in sound and screen
update. After it's done the game is still lagging, but the game sound is
more stable. But I again only see a black screen...

I remember when I used the same hardware with older wine (1.1.4?) and installed
Sacred 1 (old version) I got the same behaviour. So I assume there's a
problem with my configuration... It's really annoying, and now I decided to
ask you here for help.

Thanks for your comments!

Cheers,
Daniel

Yesterday I tried Counter Strike 1.6 from Steam, and it freezes as soon you
should see the welcome message of the server. It shows "precashing
resources" and there it stays two minutes until it crashes to the desktop.
So, there is no game working for me any more indeed. Guess this may be a issue
of fglrx?

Suggestions?
