Same issue here. Using Wine 0.9.54. Using ATI Radeon 9550 with latest drivers from ATI. About 5 seconds after this happens to my screen, my whole system locks.

I've got the same issues with my laptop using an intel 82801 (ICH 7Family) as graphic card.
I tried to run the game, with or without compiz and -dxlevel 80/81 options.
When i walk to the portal, the game froze and hl2 process ends up to zombie.

This is caused by having the registry sting "OffscreenRenderingMode" to "backbuffer".Open regedit.exe and set the following:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D]
"OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo"
After which the game initially is severly slowed down, so i changed the resolution and details to a minimum, then i opened a portal and it worked fine, and after that i reverted to full screen full resolution and medium-to-high details and it's now working fine.
Hope this helps to all who have encountered the same problem.
Using Kubuntu 10.04_x64 wine 1.1.39 and Intel 4500HD GMA
