Hey, I don't have any experience with CS:S and wine, so far. but with WoW you get a black screen, if it tries to run some shaders with d3d.

anyway I guess you have to run the game with OpenGL, I don't know how to do this in CS:S, but I guess you could add -opengl in the launch command when you launch the game. for example, while in your cs dir, type this in the terminal:

wine css.exe -opengl

I dont know if css.exe is the name of the game file tho change it to whatever it is
