Hi,
   OK, I got around to testing this problem this morning. I had
exactly the same issue when I started. StartCraft installed correctly
but when I started it I got sound and no video. The problem, in my
case, wasn't Wine but rather my X configuration. Once I fixed that
StarCraft worked perfectly on Wine-0.9.57.

   In my case I am using a Samsung SyncMaster 172s. My xorg.conf file
had 'reasonable' values for horizontal and vertical sync, but not the
'exact' right values. I was 'close', but not perfect, at least
according to my monitor's manual.

   I changed my xorg.conf file to use the exact values in the manual
and restarted X. StarCraft then started and ran perfectly.

   I do not think there is any problem with Wine-0.9.57 runing StarCraft.

Cheers,
Mark
