Maybe I don't use the right word... Usually you have 3 "menu" in the graphic tab: one for window parameter, another for screen resolution and another for direct3d. I checked with a friend (who has wine 1.4 on ubuntu 12.04) and he has a "menu" direct3d in the graphic tab. When I was looking for configure wine, I found some topic with screenshot where you can configure direct3d in the graphic tab. Maybe you right and wine works perfectly on my computer, but i find it is strange that someone have the direct3d in the graphic tab and not me.
