I'm using atri-drivers 3.7.6 and I cannot execute any wine application. My monitor goes off and only goes back to work with a reboot. I have the same problem with xawtv. I have no problem if I do not use ati-driver in XFree but I think it's not the best solution. With previous version of ati-driver did not work too. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge ati-drivers 2.emerge wine 3.try to run any program under wine. Actual Results: video goes to sleep.

the ati-driver has multiple way to use threading, just one TLS works correctly in wine, could you check your configuration file and report back?
I am using TLS = 2, but I solved this problem just creating another XF86Config with ati's fglrxconfig and I realized this version introduced new lines compared to the previous version (I was using the same XF86config generated from my first ati-driver). My advice is if anything goes wrong with a new version of ati-driver try to generate another XF86Config with fglrxconfig. Thanks for the time.
Closing then
