Without it, wine is converting the directx commands to opengl, creates extra layer of stuff, that can cause issues. I used to crash randomly without the opengl flag. Yea I hear the ati drivers are btter now then they ever have been for linux, but I still buy machines with nvidia inside just because of linux support. So sometimes the wine/graphic issues are related more towards Intel first, ATI second, then nvidia (ie more problems in that order). -- Sincerely, MacNean C.
