Hi. I have two Fedora machines and one of them is experiencing some oddness running Google Sketchup 7 under Wine. Whenever the mouse pointer is positioned over the work area on the one machine, it is surrounded by an opaque white square making it almost impossible to position anything accurately. This doesn't happen in 2D apps (ie. Firefox) or when the mouse pointer is on the menubar. That suggests a 3D-specific problem.
A google search shows a number of people have this problem and for the most part they're blaming Wine but I think the problem lies elsewhere...
Both machines are x86-64, running identical versions of Sketchup under identical versions of Wine (compiled from source on both machines). The difference is the video drivers: the machine that works (no white square) is running the nVidia proprietary drivers; the machine with the white square is running the ATI proprietary drivers.
Given this, it smells like the problem lies in the ATI OpenGL libraries.
Does this sound like a known problem and is there a fglrx driver setting that might mitigate the problem?
