In appDB the most recent report I saw was 1.1.31. New tests may have been
posted but I didn't see.

I am currently experiencing the issue with 1.1.32.

It is a KMS(kernel display mode setting) issue.

The workaround for me is to add nomodeset to kernel boot parameters.

I looked back into the package history:

Anything older than 1.1.18 works, with/without nomodeset in kernel
Anything newer than 1.1.18 doesn't work without nomodeset parameter. 

It might be some changes since 1.1.18 triggers bugs in radeon KMS code.
It would be really nice if any wine experts can locate the problem and report
it to KMS.
