> Really I need a tutorial for getting direct x to work on linux now. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-fbaa851e07d7484640cc10b6d0c48abc741260b2 Wine is an API/ABI reimplementation, enabling Unix-like systems to run Windows binaries and programs to be ported. What exactly are you trying to do/run with Wine? State the program name, version, etc. What OS and Wine version are you running? State the OS distro, version, bitness, Wine version, etc. You need to do a little legwork and narrow down the scope of what you're trying to accomplish to something realistic. Reading the FAQ is a good start, and picking a program known to work with Wine and running with it on your own is a good next step. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ The AppDB has information and ratings for a lot of Windows apps: http://appdb.winehq.org/ Nobody's going to give you a step-by-step video guide for anything, particularly since this thread is so open-ended.
