Starting wine turns off my screen

Hi,

I'm using the wine CVS version, compiled from source. I just looked at these 
URLs and will submit a bug report to bugzilla, after I've tried an older ATI 
driver. I can't go back to text mode, I have to reboot to get my screen back 
to life. If you need a process list, I can connect to my PC using SSH and 
send it to the list.
Wine is at this time running using the default configuration, but this 
shouldn't matter..

Thanks,
Philipp
