I have the same issue trying the demo version of the game, using Wine-1.1.40.
The game starts but only black screen can be seen, although the game is
running, you can hear the sounds of the intro and keyboard works too. Tried
with both fullscreen and virtual desktop mode.

I've tried numerous Wine versions including 1.1.9, 1.1.15, 1.1.22, 1.1.33,
1.1.39, 1.1.40 but the same 'black-screen-only' issue happens. Installing
native DX libraries doesn't help.

Interestingly the game has pretty good ratings on Wineappdb:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1906

Fedora 12 x86
Wine-1.1.40 from source
Nvidia 7600 GT with driver 195.36.08

My console log is showing almost exactly the same as NickNill's, except I have
no those 'fixme:d3d:state_clipping Clipping disabled, but ARB_depth_clamp isn't
supported' lines in there.

terminal output (using native msvcrt.dll)

I'm still experiencing this issue using Wine-1.1.41. There are bug #8345 and
bug #5875 which describe the exact same issue with the game. Both of them had
been marked as FIXED. The changelog for Wine-1.1.27 states this issue has been
fixed in that version. I tried 1.1.27 (among other Wine versions) but the issue
still exists for me. It might be a Nvidia driver issue, but I can't test it
with any other driver version (I can only see 19x.x drivers in the RPMfusion
repos, match for a 7xxx series card)

Workaround: using a no-cd "patch"

I don't really know if its a copy-protection issue, or simply the crack is more
"Wine-friendly", because there were no signs of DRM neither in the demo nor in
the GoG version. 
But here's the fact: after applying the proper no-cd "patch" both the demo and
the digital distribution version of the game began to work.

For me, the demo works very well (except sluttering sounds...)

Surely a bad configuration of your X-server.

I have the same problem with Syberia Deluxe Edition. Syberia II runs fine, but
Syberia I just gives me a black screen, though I can hear the sound.

Like I said on the game page, if you launch wine's taskmanager and double click
to switch to Syberia the game will work, at least when using a virtual desktop.

Confirming everything above:

- Blank screen on startup
- Sounds can be heard, mouse and keyboard seem to be working
- You cannot switch to any other window, you have to kill the app through tty
- Same behaviour in virtual desktop mode
- NOCD patch from gamecopyworld doesn't work

Environment:

- Game version - Steam
- Wine 1.3.22
- Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick"
- nVidia GeForce 9800GT, proprietary drivers 260.19.06

Black screen problem still exists in Wine 1.5.3

A workaround is to minimize then restore the game window (say, using NirCmd) to
force a repaint.

I can reproduce the issue in wine 1.5.22 too. Andrey, please try again in a
clean prefix. You might have installed something with winetricks or tweaked
something in the registry to make it work.

Workaround: I found a solution to black start screen (cut scene). 
I've used that post :
http://www.gog.com/forum/syberia_series/syberia_1_in_window_mode/post3

to run Syberia in windowed mode. 
That is : add to this dir (change to your setup):
/home/XXX/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/Syberia
a file player.ini
with following content :
800 600 16 0 BaseCMO.cmo

After that I got running first cut scene, however my game screen start to
flicker. To overcome this I've used following content of player.ini:
1024 768 16 0 BaseCMO.cmo
and I've used virtual desktop setting for wine (800x600)

Does not work for me. The window mode is activated, but screen is and stays
still black while playing the sound. Virtual wine desktop does not change this,
too.

This is _most probably_ a gpu issue here.
For instance Intel cards can't set <32bbp
The game needs 16
There is this wiki entry http://wiki.winehq.org/256ColorMode but all this
solutions are imho ugly.
But I could get the damn thing working after I switched my hybrid card to use
the radeon card.
If you force the software renderer it even tells you that it can't switch the
bpp.
Anyway same setup, different card -> works.

Ok update on my previous post.
Tested the same wine prefix on different pcs.
with DRI_PRIME=1 it works in 50% of all cases.
On a radeon only laptop it's black as well.
Will later test it with nouveau and nvidia
This is a weird bug.

impossible for me to play this game: it crashes after the cinematics, I tested
all the tweaks from here and other forum, no way.
Gog version
Nvidia GPU
Ubuntu 17.10

I downloaded a demo here:

Works very good.

Finally the demo does not work as good I said in my last comment:
- no black window at start
- no crash after the cinematics
- I can play the game but...
If I go to the menu, new game, the game crash and my desktop becomes all black
(gamma change?).
I have to launch nvidia-settings to recover normal color.
But after that, I have to reboot my computer because my system is a little
unstable, for example: I can no more launch Syberia (does nothing).
Not only the Linux users have difficulty with this game but Windows users too.
They use Dgvoodo to play this game.

I have news for the demo not working. It is a problem with pixel format not
recognized.

With a player.ini created in the game folder
if I use 800 600 32 1 BaseCMO.cmo  it works
if I use 800 600 16 1 BaseCMO.cmo  it does not work

800 is width 600 height 1 is fullscreen and 16 (or 32) is depth format.

You can change values 800 and 600. It does not matter.

I use these 2 aliases in ~/.bashrc to archive the same:

alias reset_res="xrandr --output "HDMI-0" --mode "1920x1080+0+0""
alias reset_gam="xgamma -gamma 1.0"

Please set the proper resolution (1920x1080 is Full-HD) for your system.

I think I found something interesting. If I create a virtual desktop, depending
of its resolution, the game doesn't always work in windowed mode.

If the virtual desktop is set to at least 803x622, the game window resizes it
to 806x625, and the game works fine, otherwise it's a black screen but the
music works.
With "WINEDEBUG=warn+all" I was able to find the interesting parts.

On a working instance:
> 0009:warn:d3d:wined3d_enum_adapter_modes Invalid mode_idx 21.
> 0009:warn:d3d:wined3d_enum_adapter_modes Invalid mode_idx 21.
> 0009:warn:d3d:wined3d_enum_adapter_modes Invalid mode_idx 21.

... (more common init lines)
> 0032:fixme:d3d:texture2d_blt Can't handle WINED3D_BLT_DO_NOT_WAIT flag.
> 0032:warn:d3d:wined3d_texture_gl_load_texture Trying to load a texture from sysmem, but no simple location is valid.
> 0032:warn:d3d:wined3d_texture_load_location Operation requires 0x2 access, but texture only has 0x1.
> 0032:warn:d3d_perf:wined3d_debug_callback 0x12e1728: "CPU mapping a busy "isl-miptree" BO stalled and took 0.514 ms.\n".

On a black-window, windowed instance:
> 0009:warn:d3d:wined3d_enum_adapter_modes Invalid mode_idx 20.
> 0009:warn:d3d:wined3d_enum_adapter_modes Invalid mode_idx 20.
> 0009:warn:d3d:wined3d_enum_adapter_modes Invalid mode_idx 20.

... (more common init lines)
> 0009:warn:d3d:wined3d_texture_check_box_dimensions Box (3, 22, 0)-(803, 609, 1) is invalid.

Those lines are also repeated multiple times:
> 0009:warn:d3d:wined3d_texture_check_box_dimensions Box (3, 22, 0)-(803, 609, 1) is invalid.
> 0032:warn:d3d_perf:wined3d_debug_callback 0x12d1208: "Flushing before mapping a referenced bo.\n".
> 0032:warn:d3d_perf:wined3d_debug_callback 0x12d1208: "CPU mapping a busy "isl-miptree" BO stalled and took 0.098 ms.\n".

On a black-window, fullscreen instance:
> 0009:warn:d3d:wined3d_enum_adapter_modes Invalid mode_idx 38.
> 0009:warn:d3d:wined3d_enum_adapter_modes Invalid mode_idx 38.
> 0009:warn:d3d:wined3d_enum_adapter_modes Invalid mode_idx 38.

... (more common init lines)
> 0009:fixme:ddraw:ddraw_surface7_Flip Ignoring flags 0x28.

The last line is also repeated multiple times.

Hope this helps!

Still broken with Wine 6.1

Here the difference with the default log; in windowed (working) mode:
> 0130:fixme:d3d:texture2d_blt Can't handle WINED3D_BLT_DO_NOT_WAIT flag.

In fullscreen (broken):
> 0024:fixme:ddraw:ddraw_surface1_Flip Ignoring flags 0x28.

If I compare them with "WINEDEBUG=warn+all", the "ignoring flags 0x28" line is
repeated between each matching log lines (with a 'warn' instead of 'fixme').

Still the same issue with Wine 6.2, also tried with wine-staging 6.2.

I checked inside Wine's source, the flag 0x28 corresponds to "DDFLIP_NOVSYNC |
DDFLIP_DONOTWAIT", but the latter is not implemeted.
It is interesting to see that in windowed (working) mode it prints "Can't
handle WINED3D_BLT_DO_NOT_WAIT flag"; so it uses D3D in this mode, but
DirectDraw in fullscreen (broken) mode?

I checked again with "WINEDEBUG=warn+all", here are the only differences.

Windowed mode:
> 0024:warn:ddraw:ddraw_set_cooperative_level Unhandled flag DDSCL_FPUSETUP, harmless
> 0024:warn:d3d_perf:resource_check_usage WINED3DUSAGE_DYNAMIC used with WINED3D_RESOURCE_ACCESS_MAP_R.

> 0130:fixme:d3d:texture2d_blt Can't handle WINED3D_BLT_DO_NOT_WAIT flag.

> 0130:warn:d3d:wined3d_texture_load_location Operation requires 0x2 access, but texture only has 0x1.

Fullscreen mode:
> 0024:warn:ddraw:ddraw_set_cooperative_level Unhandled flag DDSCL_ALLOWREBOOT, harmless
> 00b0:warn:virtual:NtFreeVirtualMemory Application tried to deallocate current pthread stack 0x1ba0000, deferring

The issue is still here with Wine staging 6.9.

Here are the relevant logs with "WINEDEBUG=warn+all"; first during the boot:
> 006c:warn:x11drv:get_work_area _GTK_WORKAREAS is not supported, fallback to _NET_WORKAREA. Work areas may be incorrect on multi-monitor systems.
> 006c:warn:x11drv:get_work_area _NET_WORKAREA is not supported, Work areas may be incorrect.

During the intro video:
> 0120:warn:ddraw:ddraw_surface1_Flip Ignoring flags 0x28.

And what I guess is the menu (the screen is completely black):
> 0120:warn:ddraw:ddraw_surface1_Flip Ignoring flags 0x1.

This bug still in present in Wine staging 7.11 (WineHQ binary package) with a
clean WINEPREFIX

Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS 64bits
NVIDIA GeForce 940MX with driver 510.73.05 and NVIDIA GPU (Performance Mode)
selected in "PRIME Profiles"

I've tested the GOG.com version of the game: syberia_1.0.0_hotfix4_(53936)
39e9e778c755c081f3e4b12dc5f6ef4260cbfb14  Game.exe

Workaround:
* Before starting the game, open Winecfg and place the Winecfg window on the
right side of the screen
* In Winecfg > Graphics > Window Settings, uncheck "Allow the window manager to
control the windows" and click "Apply" (do not close the Winecfg window)
* Start the game, then return to desktop using Alt+Tab (do not close the game)
* In Winecfg, check "Allow the window manager to control windows" again and
click "OK"
* The game should automatically return to full screen and should no longer be
black.

xprop output of the two screens

Issue still there with here with Wine staging 7.11, but thanks to the imaxm's
work-around I think I found the root issue: the game (or Wine) renders *two*
screens.

The first is the black screen everyone sees, which can not be controlled by my
WM (Awesome WM): it's not on the taskbar, I can't close it, it's just on top of
everything else.
The second is the game that you can see after the work-around.

It's even more obvious when you use dgVoodoo to have the characters in higher
resolution, there is a 800x600 black square on top of the game that uses the
defined resolution.

I added the xprop output of the two screens, if it helps.

The issue is still here with Wine staging 7.15.

I found another work-around: before starting the game I execute "xdotool
selectwindow windowunmap".
When I hear the game introduction I click anywhere on the screen: the black
window is unmapped, and the game that was behind it on another window appears.

Still here with wine-staging 7.19, with the work-around still working ("xdotool
selectwindow windowunmap").
