Hi,

I was thinking some DirectX controls, along the lines of Rivatuner, would provide
functionality to "switch" on or off different DirectX features within Wine, which could hopefully go a long way towards users like myself troubleshooting why certain games/apps won't load in Wine.

Perhaps the maintainers of Rivatuner would contribute their code (or wisdom)
to the Wine community?

Gaming in Linux has come a long, long way, it still has a long way to go still
however, but it is a bright future.

Thanks
Tim

I'm not entirely sure but don't wine/cedega use something entirely different from directx?

Basically dlls that imitate it?

At least opengl 3 should give linux gaming a boost, even if games aren't made for linux opengl games almost always run fine under wine
