Blank screen

[Seafire]

Whenever I start a game in wine the screen just goes blank. Does anyone knows what causes this?

You did not include any information about your problem, so it is difficult to help you. Post your terminal output and add other important information:
What game you are trying to run?
Wine version?
What's your video card? Did you install proprietary driver for it?

Game: Rome total war; however it seems to do this to any game.
Wine version: 1.4.1
Graphics: ATI proprietary graphics.
