Wine didn't use to work to run Morrowind on my Sapphire Radeon 9600 graphics card either when I was using the fglrx driver.
I just did a re-install of Debian Linux Stable(etch), upgraded it to Unstable(lenny/sid), installed headers for the latest kernel in unstable(2.6.25-2-686). Then I downloaded and installed ati driver 8.5 for 32-bit Linux. Then I had to build the module.
Then I restarted the PC, and now Morrowind runs. It runs really slow. Playing in 680x460 with distance turned way down is barely playable, but at least it runs. Still, the fglrx driver is really buggy and it keeps on crashing my X server and even freezing my computer regulary, so it doesn't surprise me that it is not playing nice for others.
