[Bug 11487] New: Steam client, when I click on game, windows pops up requesting latest version of DX

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11487

Summary: Steam client, when I click on game, windows pops up
                    requesting latest version of DX
           Product: WineHQ Apps Database
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: appdb-unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I've installed wine-0.9.54 on ubuntu 7.10 (system updated with the latest
patches, etc). Steam client installs and works fine after fixing gecko.

However, in the Steam client, when I click on CounterStrike Source game (or any
steam game in the game tab), I get a little window that says, 'Steam - The
latest version of DirectX is required' and it won't let the game start.

I get this error in spite of whatever '-dxlevel XX' I put in the command line
or start up options.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=615763 see last posts #8,9,10 to
confirm others are seeing this also.

I've not done a bug report before, so I hope I put it in the right place and
right format.

Not appDB's bug.
Have you tried to remove / rename ~/.wine directory before reinstalling Steam?
Also please specify your video card and drivers. And please attach as a file do
not paste complete terminal output of running steam.

Created an attachment (id=10640)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=10640)
File attached, has xorg.conf and console output when running wine/steam

Not exactly sure what you meant about "Have you tried to remove / rename
~/.wine directory before reinstalling Steam?"

Except for the Gecko problem, the steam install went OK.

rm -rf ~/.wine

Your configuration is broken. When Steam complains about version of DX that
means something was not properly installed. Refer to AppDB Steam page for
instructions on how to completely reinstall Steam.

If it still does not work, attach screen-shot of the exact error you receive.

Reinstalling wine worked.  Also the 'install gecko' worked also.

On the original install, I did not 'wait' for the over 5 minute installation of
'winecfg' to work.  I just renamed the wine.xxxx to wine and went from there.

A big mistake.  
(copied Steam to another directory for safe keeping)
1.  Removed .wine via cd home directory,  rm -rf .wine
2.  Full Removal of package via Synaptics
3.  Reinstalled via Synaptics
4.  Open terminal, cd home directory, run 'winecfg', see multiple errors with
mixer/printer, etc, IGNORE.
5.  Take coffee break, come back 10 minutes later
6.  Wine installed
7.  Moved my Steam directory back into Program Files.
8.  cd to Steam, run wine ./Steam.exe
9.  Steam opens up, asks for Gecko install, say yes
10. All is well, can't seem to keep video settings, but I'll work that out.

Thanks for the help with my noob mistakes.

Nothing was fixed, so this bug is invalid.
