I did misunderstand.  I mis-read that you were having problems with the 
AMD/ATI video card.  My apologies. 

Intel video cards are flaky with Linux and don't work well with Wine due 
to their substandard Linux drivers.  Unfortunately, you are like me, 
stuck with whatever was put in the laptop, which appears to be an 
'on-board' Intel video chipset.  I'm stuck with two ATI video chipsets, 
one in my Mac, the other (which is not supported by FC12-13) in my old 
IBM Thinkpad A22p.

Amazing.  I've read of all sorts of difficulties with these drivers.  
However, if it works, don't try to break it (that's MY job.)
