After starting the game from the main menu, as soon as the introductory video
sequence ends and the player gets control, the screen turns black, except for
the 4 keyboard indicators in the top right and the dialog text at the bottom of
the screen.
Pressing Esc leads to a working menu (the palmtop display).  Also, the main
menu is correctly displayed.

The graphics are actually present because sometimes, when refreshing the
desktop window after putting another one in front, the scene becomes visible
for a few milliseconds, then turns black again!

The black screen is present:
 - with Intel i915 graphics on Ubuntu Intrepid;
 - with NVidia 9400M graphics on MacOS;
 - AppDB mentions it with wine-1.1.1.

I tried various settings of HKCU\Software\Wine\Direct3D\RenderTargetLockMode,
OffscreenRenderingMode, UseGLSL, DirectDrawRenderer to no avail.  Same with
Massimo's DIB engine with wine-1.1.22.

This does not seem related to the "QuickTime" bug #1347:
 - the patch from bug #1347, comment #58 does not help;
 - compiz is not running;
 - black in virtual desktop and fullscreen modes;
 - pbuffer no improvement on NVidia.
