[Wine] Graphical text error in game (MI5)

[exore]

Hi, have recently bought MI5 (Tales of Monkey Island), and I am currently trying to run it under wine in Ubuntu 9.04 and I am running the latest development version 1.1.25. I am running this over the latest stable version due to less graphical errors when trying to run the game.

To get the game running I followed this guide posted on the telltale's ( the creators of the game) forum

The game starts fine but when text starts to be displayed I one get white blocks where text should be. Here you can see what I mean:

I think these graphical errors probably have something to do with my graphics card because I have had similar problems in windows before and they were fixed by upgrading or changing by graphic card drivers. I have a dell Inspiron  6400 with a ATI Mobility Readon X1400.

Any tips how I can solve this problem would be appreciated.
