Hi,
Does this version of Wine supports (or even attempts to support)
Direct X 8? Direct X 9?
Thanks!

> i have tried installing dx7, dx8, and, dx9You have a wrong idea of wine directx support. You can't install the Microsoft version of directx on wine. Wine has it's own directx, that currently are incomplete, but already run many games. There is partial support up to directx 8, you can try a demo, for example mafia, that uses directx8, it runs very well on wine. There isn't any real directx 9 support for now. If you install the Microsoft directx the files will just sit on your hard drive, but won't be used by wine. If you set wine to use the native version of those files, the games that do work with the wine directx will just stop working. BTW you can install any directx sdk by unzipping the exe file, for example for directx 8a just run unzip DX8a_SDK.exe and you'll get a directory containing the SDK. Ivan.

I cant' really help with CXoffice, you may have more luck with the current version of wine. Ivan.

> How do I check about the OpenGL headers?They're in /usr/X11R6/GL, you can get up to date ones from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mesa3d/MesaLib-6.0.1.tar.bz2?download Ivan.
Have you got a windows installation, or at least a valid windows license for your PC? Ivan.
