I had similar problems with both an ATI Radeon 9600 128MB and an ATI Radeon
X1400 256MB on two different machines. The former runs Fedora Core 9 x86_64 on
AMD and the latter runs Kubuntu 8.04 32-bit on a Core 2 Duo. I use the fglrx
driver on both.

The fix:

1. Edit Config.wtf and disable the pixel shaders:

SET M2UsePixelShaders "0"
SET M2UseShaders "0"

also make sure you have openGL set up:

SET gxApi "opengl"

This fixes several issues with missing text and images on the login screen,
char selection screen, etc.

2. Make sure you have the recommended registry tweak applied
(HKCU\Software\Wine\OpenGL\DisabledExtensions = GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object)

This fixes some nasty text glitches after going inside buildings, tunnels, etc.
This is _really important_ as the game is basically unplayable without it.

Your mileage may vary, of course, but the above works for me. WoW is completely
playable and very stable on my systems.

Good luck.
