Your problem isn't related to Wine, it is (with almost 100% probability) because of buggy video driver. Theoretically you can report the problem to ATI, wait for some months, then retest, then report next problem... Or you can try practical approach and buy NVidia card and play your game now (assuming Wine supports it, find the entry for your game in AppDB to be sure). There is no sarcasm in my message. This is the way it is. ATI drivers have so many bugs in them that you very likely to find them in many 3D applications, especially on Linux (in my personal experience they drivers for Windows are much better but still worse than NVidia's; on Linux NVidia is only practical choice if you want to play games or use 3D CAD applications). Anyway, if you see that your X server or kernel crashing - you know that you are dealing with problem not related to Wine in any way. However, Wine often triggers some "hidden" bugs in video driver, so this is why many people mistakenly think about such problems as Wine bugs. If this happens, no matter what video card you are using, you should report it to the manufacturer of your video chipset and hope they will fix the problem for you.
