What we need is a proper D3D / DirectX re-implementation for Linux. Despite for buggy graphics I’m usually getting better performance from Ubuntu than from Windows XP / 7. Not to mention less compatibility issues with Wine than with Windows 7 (for older games).

It wont happen in the free versions of Linux, MS will never allow this, hence OpenGL. Have you tried Cedega? Said to be the next best thing since DX9?

Cedega is paid for software, right? Something in me just rebels against paying for a game and then paying again to play it...

Yup, they pay MS royalties for the use of DirectX (amongst other MS libraries), and you pay them to use that DirectX implementation for the game you want to play.

TransGaming is pleased to announce the continued development of Cedega Technology under the GameTree Developer Program. Although the current Cedega Gaming Service will be retired, Cedega as a technology for the Linux gaming community will continue to be available as an active and invested toolset within the GameTree Developer Program. The current Cedega Gaming Service will be available for active Members until February 28, 2011, after which time a free GameTree Dev ID will be required to gain access to the Cedega powered Linux desktop technology through the GameTree Developer Program.

Hang on a moment... I seem to remember reading an article a couple months ago on a different means of implementing the bridge between OpenGL and DX function calls.

Damn, now I have to go find the article again or its going to bother me the whole evening...
