Distro and video card stuff should be irrelevant - I have tested this across multiple computers (albeit all running different versions of or based on either Ubuntu 10.10 or 11.04) with different video cards with different drivers - results were the same. WINE versions tested were 1.3.24 and 1.2.3, both leading to identical results. Here's the output from a laptop running LinuxMint 10 with Nvidia propietary driver 270.41.06 on a GeForce 320GT...

It's not black and white.
