For those that have managed to get Diablo II to work. I have attempted get Diablo working, however have run into a DirectX not available error. How did others get this to work. I have a small how-to, but it doesn't help with this. Wine 0.0.20011004-1 -- Kevin C. Smith | Debian GNU/Linux smithkevinc@nettaxi.com |

Ok, I've tried wine with about 10 different aplications and it always returns SOME kind of error... and it closes... the only one I can run without ANY problem is DiabloII.... not even half life runs on wine...

Fortunately I can start all games on an emulated Desktop with small size Question: is it possible to start wine with a parameter or prefix that makes it switch to emulate...

I cant really seem to find a definite answer: there's a bunch of stuff written on the subject, but nothing definite. "I've got it half way working" seems to be all I can find. So, has anyone gotten it working fully? I'd love to be able to run this without having to install windows... that would be a pain having to reformat etc etc etc... thx

I'm running wine 1.2.2 and used the blizzard installer while downloading everything off of their site for d2 - No expansion yet. I tried to run d2 to make sure its working up to this point before I continue to install lod. I get an error that goes like this: Error 25: A critical error has occurred while initializing Direct3D. I thought wine didn't support direct3D and that was why I was
