If it turns out that the DirectX implementation of Wine is not enough, you can install the DirectX binary with Winetricks : http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks Wine can use some of helper dlls from native DX (ex: d3dx9_xx.dll - set of additional functions for programs to use, dplay - direct play). However core parts of DX (d3d, dsound) will always have to be builtin (Wine's own).
