You should disable 3D effects like Compiz before attempting to run
Wine.  The two are not compatible.  If you did this, please disregard.

Please be aware that Wine exercises some pretty obscure driver code and
this can and does cause headaches.   There is a person lurking here,
now, from AMD/ATI that is tracking problems reported with their
drivers.   If you are using their video cards, please report the card
type, firmware revision and video driver type and version with any report.
