ATI are blaming this on wine, for not preserving the TLS state that the ATI
driver has already claimed.

>From the ATI FAQ:

"19. Compatibility with WineX and other emulators

     *** this section only applys to FireGL workstation boards ***
     *** respective settings for other adapters have no effect ***"

Seems it also affects thinkpad laptops.

"     The entered value for the key UseFastTLS has this meaning:

     value meaning   description

       0   default   FireGL workstation boards: fast operation
       1   on        fast operation
       2   off       compatible operation
......

     Note: The above mentioned fault is not a driver bug, but it's caused b=
y
     lack of management functionality for the respective resource in the
     hosting operating system. Alternatively it can be considered as a prob=
lem
     of the application to preserve the respective state of the used TLS me=
thod
     that the OpenGL driver did already "claim" and use."
