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 which is a very complicated situation to say the least.
Paul: What is your arch?  64 or 32 bit?
Please post the output of:
uname -r
uname -m
lspci
glxinfo

Once we have this info we may be able to figure out where it's going
wrong.  In the mean time, I will test a 32bit live CD on my laptop to
see if that may bypass the issue.  If the live CD works it may be a
problem with the OSS video driver's implementation of 32bit 3D rendering
in 64bit mode.  If not, I suspect that it may be related to embedded
Mobility chips and an incomplete implementation of software TCL.  I
remember that the closed source drivers on their final release for my
hardware finally started working properly, but until that driver they
also would not work right  I'm just not sure what changed.  i know the
9600 [RV350] is a desktop card which has hardware TCL, but my laptop
does not.  I am curious to know whether or not your card has hardware
TCL Paul.
