I found a work-around: Press F6 when the screen is black.
This works with both Pharaoh and Cleopatra in 1.1.21.

F6 is not documented in Pharaoh's manual, but it corresponds to the in-game
menu -> options -> graphics -> "Fenster-Modus" (in German) / window mode.
F7:  640x480
F8:  800x600
F9: 1024x768
F10: undocumented, causes a mini-icon to appear in the top left corner in
desktop mode and the game pauses. Is this iconification?

Pressing F6 during game play produces a notice that switching to
"Fenster-Modus" failed. The visual effect looks like F6 restores a sane screen
after some failure to switch to another mode, that's why this trick works.

The F6 trick cures black screens in both full-screen and desktop mode in
Kubuntu and Ubuntu Hardy for Pharaoh and Cleopatra. I wrote in comment #10 that
Hardy worked fine for me, but todays testing with 1.1.21 showed some black
screens when trying and switching among the 3 resolutions. The main difference
was that Pharaoh typically starts with a correct screen, while Cleopatra
typically starts black.

Black screens show up in both winecfg's full screen and desktop window mode.
