Well I have the answer. It appears to be either a bug with the way wine implements its 32bit to 64bit 3D rendering or with the way the ATI drivers handle 3D requests from 32bit programs. I suspect the latter, because I was able to run wine on 64bit with proprietary drivers before, and running w

I have received no feedback since I posted this last month. My curiosity is whether this may be a weak ATI OSS video driver implementation issue exposed by a 32bit/64bit conflict. The wine layer technically runs everything in 32bit mode on a 64bit architecture running 3D against a 64bit driver
