After reading about a major Direct3D rewrite in the new wine-0.9.16 version , I gave it a try (again) and installed it on my Fedora Core 5 system (Athlon64 3200+ with a Geforce 6600GT and latest proprietary nvidia driver installed - kernel-2.6.17-1.2145_FC5). To see whether anything has really changed, I dug up my old Diablo2/LoD and installed it. And Lo, things have changed! Whereas previous wine version were at least able to run the game in 2D, this new crap doesn't run it at all, complaining that it doen't find any(!) usabel video mode. Man, this is a 7-year old DirectX game and you guys are still unable to handle it properly - your such a laugh! To me, your whole project looks just like a big waste of time.

If you are using a more recent version of the Nvidia drivers, note that there is a bug where the driver does not correctly detect the usable video modes of the monitor. If your driver has this problem then Diablo II may generate this message because X.org won't let Wine change modes. Run the K Resize and Rotate applet (or anything that lists available modes) and see if 640x480 and 800x600 are available.
Umm well. How about http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+Diablo2 i was always in the opinion Diablo looks better in OpenGL then with DirectX. Have Fun :D Peter Note: I spare us any comment on the tone...
