[Wine] Blank Screen in Game after 30 Seconds

[Marcelo R]

Hi All,
 
I finally could install and run a game in wine called USAF (a flight simulator program), but I am experiencing the following problem:

The whole presentation and configuration pages run just fine, but when the simulation begins (even at the lowest resolution: 640x480x16), it is shown for a about 15/30 seconds and then the screen turns completely black except for the cursor. After a while (another 15/30 secs) the game will run just fine for about that period of time to go black again and so on...

The game is not frozen during the "black out" time, its music still plays and I can hear sounds that I cause by typing certain keys (commands to the game).

When running the game with logging enabled, I get the following (after cleaning out tons of repeating lines):

I run the game with Direct3D: "DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl"
X11 Driver: "UseXrandR=Y"

I tried it both with and without a virtual desktop with no luck.
Shall I try changing "UseGLSL", "OffscreenRenderingMode" and "RenderTargetLockMode"? to correct this problem?
Thanks!
