That's pretty weird... The first linux distro i tried was opensuse 10 but i couldn't make it work with my ati card, so i tried ubuntu and that worked for me. Unfortunately i'm not that geek and experienced to help you out further. The latest driver/wine/distro updates are all that i can suggest atm. Maybe you should post your problem with terminal output, with perhaps winedebug or any log file that can help developers. I wish i had money to buy a mobile nvidia card in my notebook, ati support sucks for linux nowadays... So the only issue i can suggest is that you should try it on other distros than opensuse. I don't want to say it's the worst, but maybe something works better on other linuxes. Good luck with your issue btw ;)
