If there were a >diagnostic that didn't crash without MS DirectX it would help a lot. I guess wine just needs a builtin dxdiag.exe. Reason 1: to test simple DirectX capability Reason 2: Some windows applications, like GameZone test explixitely for the presence of dxdiag.exe in c:\windows\system32\, and fail miserabily to run, if it's not found. Actually my plan is to look into this, if i have some free time, and see if i can make patch that adds a simple dxdiag.exe to wine. Shouldn't be to difficult. To be continued.
