Hi,
I used to use wine with no problems with version 0.9.37 on openSUSE 11.3. Now, I am using wine 1.3, and it causes major problems. My programs are unusable because highlighted text becomes black, and many controls also turn black. Here is a screenshot of wineconf with a clean wine conf directory: Notice the black "Screen Resolution" slider? Other programs are far worse, with controls obscured by black patches. Any ideas what's going on? Thanks!

Why were you using such an old version on a new distro?
Because the new version of wine shipped with the new distros renders my most important programs useless because of this bug. As I said, it's not just this black slider, but rather black buttons that obscure the label, and solid black blocks of invisible text. Major show stopper for me.
Yes, but something also changed in Wine that makes it more prone to cause the video driver bug. As I said, on the same machine wine 0.9.37 works perfectly.

Correct, read the bug. Now Wine accelerates some DDB (Device Dependant Bitmap) operations using Xorg's xrender extension. Which in turn uses accelerated driver features which appears to be broken in your video driver.
