I've been able to play battlefield 1942 using X.org drivers. I'm using latest cvs of about two weeks ago.
Do you mean wine CVS or X.org CVS? Which card?
But I'm having the clippling problem again which I described in the thread Sept 3rd, Re: wined3d - d3d9 regression testing 7_12_2005 where in certain instances, the game's screen moves 25% towards the top and left off the screen, and if you trigger it again, it does it more making it unplayable. This time, vertex shaders being off does not fix it. This is even without Oliver's new patch.
That's the same with the fglrx driver.
Oh, BTW Oliver, I did try Warcraft 3 with the new patch and it is excellent. Since you have the game you should try it out and see what you can figure out with it because it can use both opengl and d3d8.
There's no real improvement with Warcraft III in DX mode with the fglrx driver, but I can confirm that it's working nicely with the X.org drivers. I guess it's again the slowlyness of glReadPixels and friends :-(
