Welcome to the forum, SW KotoR is listed in the App Database as having some serious issues. I can't find a current setup in there either. So now you need to supply some basic information about your settings.

Start with what kind of hardware you are using CPU, RAM, GPU, etc. and WINE version you have installed. If you run WINE from the terminal it will return output but since you are having a screen issue you will need to save the debug output to a file.

Collect as much as you can and someone should get back with you.

AryaGrimm, I don't know your level of expertise, but try setting up a virtual desktop in winecfg, and try SW Kotor again. When I first got it working years ago, that's how I made it happen.
