I have wine working just fine on my FC6 x86_64 box.  I suggest you use
the wine RPMs from extras.  Here is what I have (yes, this is a 64-bit
install, wine is only available 32-bit):
$ rpm -qa | grep wine
wine-capi-0.9.29-1.fc6.i386
wine-twain-0.9.29-1.fc6.i386
wine-esd-0.9.29-1.fc6.i386
wine-0.9.29-1.fc6.i386
wine-tools-0.9.29-1.fc6.i386
wine-jack-0.9.29-1.fc6.i386
wine-core-0.9.29-1.fc6.i386
wine-ldap-0.9.29-1.fc6.i386
wine-nas-0.9.29-1.fc6.i386
wine-cms-0.9.29-1.fc6.i386

I am not sure what is going on with your system.  Is there anything in
any logs that might give more clues as to what is happening?  I have
had some font issues on a 32-bit CentOS machine where no text would
display on anything running under wine.  This sounds different,
though.  I don't know.  Are there any more details you can provide us?
 Are you using AIGLX?  Have you tried without it?  What about SELinux?
 Just trying to rule out possibilities...
