@Frank Engelhardt> Work arounding by removing game's config (Game.prefs) sound suspicious ;) Maybe you installed it under windows or run it under windows?
I have also wondered about this. First, I installed and ran ForgedAlliance successfully on wine 1.1.29. After upgrading to 1.1.30, FA starts showing this black screen. When I discovered this bug report after a while, I also installed SupremeCommander to reproduce the mentioned bug there, but it worked instantanously on wine 1.1.32. Thus, I came to the decision to delete my Game.prefs, which might be somehow misconfigured. Surprisingly, it worked.
