I just compiled wine 1.1.37 from scource (git) with Max' patches -- only
possible with Bernhards update, though! First time around, I didn't use the
update and that resulted in this error

"WINEDIB=ON wine StarCraft.exe gave the error => err:driver:Load_Dib_Driver
Couldn't load DIB Engine."

Second time around, when I used the update, I could load the dib driver.
Unfortunately, there is no performance increase what so ever in StarCraft.

There is one topic I would like to bring up, and excuse me if this is not the
right place to do it, I'm not sure..

Awhile ago, I found out that if one uses an old version of wine (0.9.14)
StarCraft performance is 99.99% of that of I remember it being in XP. I then
did some lurking in the wine changelogs, and it seems that the DirectDraw
underwent alot of updated/updrades -- and unfortunately it was in such a way,
that StarCraft got left behind..

My specs:

GPU: ATi Radeon X850XT Platinum (PCi:E, which is unsupported by legacy drivers)

flgrxinfo:
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON X850 XT Platinum Edition
OpenGL version string: 2.1.8543 Release

Thus I am indeed using the lastest ATi drivers with 3D support for my legacy
card... nVidia here I come!
