I'm sure they know how because they do it for the Mac version (OpenGL is default on Mac, i think). There is an ingame setting that has something to do with "reducing input lag". Check that out. Not a total solution, but it might help a little. I have ALL my WoW video settings at minimum and the game is playable. The down side is that you lose a lot of the eye candy.

Have you checked out this page? : http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14154 The section about this says: Mouse cursor slow Try running the game in Windowed mode, but do note that the jerky mouse is due to failure of Blizzard not implimenting the Hardware Cursor, so it will not be perfectly smooth, but at least it wont delay. There is a setting in game to reduce input lag that can sometimes help, and I have heard of people using the game setting for the mouse speed and bumping that way up to try an compensate a bit for the lag. I do not know if either would help but if you haven't tried them it might be worth it. That same page also have several ideas to try for increasing fps and getting better game play overall.
I did get WOW Reign of Chaos and Frozen Throne to work on my Ubuntu machine. There is a bit of lag there alright but it is manageable and the game is playable. I figured that if I upgraded the machine that would probably solve the problem. But it works alright. I also tested wine with other games as well the details of my little adventure is here including tweaks and additional components I used to make there games work normally. http://pinoygeek.org/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=b18243ac55325520baaac966734f0c56&topic=703.0 Hope this helps.
