wine users - Aug 2010 - Counterstrike Source: Monitor turns off when starting

Hi all, 
ive just installed wine1.3 on my kUbuntu 10.04 to check if CS:Source is running
on my system - and it doesnt, as usual.

When i start CS:S in fullscreen, my Monitor turns off (no signal) and my
terminals on F1-F6 are just black. The monitor is not to bring on again, the
only thing i can do is to reboot by login into ssh from another machine or press
the power button to turn off.

When i start CS:S with parameter "-startwindowed" everything runs fine
- until i switch to fullscreen mode.

Any suggestions?

My System: 
wine 1.3.0 beta
kUbuntu 10.04
Intel Core2Duo E8400 / 4GB
ATI HD4830 with fglrx 2:8.723.1 (newest from ubuntu repo)

Look for an X crash in your syslog.  Looks like you have to re-install or
downgrade your video drivers.

hi, 
after some reading ive tested turning off Desktop GL-Effects. First that doesnt
worked, too, but after setting the fullscreen resolution to native it works.

Unfortunately it only works in lokal mode with bots. When i play online it
crashes after 2-3 mins. And it crashes so hard, i cant even get control with
magic-sysrq keys.

Cant find anything unusual in my logs.

ok, ive got output from wine with "wine Steam.exe > steam.log
2>&1".
This time magic-sysrq was working, so i was able to make a clean emergency
shutdown (term,kill,flush2disk,unmount,reboot).
Last line of the log is (left out "fixme" messages):

Google has some old results, but no solutions... i do not even think that this
is the problem. Maybe its something with networking - local games with bots are
working well.

Hi, 
thanks for your reply. I never thougt about a "bug" in wine  [Wink] 
I know that ATIs linux video drivers are crap. Next time ill buy nvidia [Rolling

Till then i keep using windows for playing counterstrike.
