This happens with Nvidia cards.  I posted about this with RH FC6 several 
weeks ago.  I was using a 5200 card.  It is not a Wine problem.  I 
sometimes get around it by using the analog feed to my monitor instead 
of digital.  I found it to be in all drivers and to cause this problem 
on most of the native Linux applications that use accelerated video.  I 
figured this would be appearing here so I posted a warning on the 
developer forum.  This sounds like it isn't a RH problem.
