Howdy,
From memory I know dxdiag.exe wont work on Linux if its set to XP the only way to get it to work properly is set the windows version to 2k. As for MAC I'm not sure, you will need another sucker.. I mean guinea pig to test there :)
Maybe have two versions, one for Linux and one for Mac?
Well, currently linux/solaris/bsd has the option. Mac is detected and forced to use XP. Ideally, there shouldn't be a need to use different versions, the install should work on all OS's (actually, in a perfect world, it wouldn't be needed at all ;-)).
There's now a stub dxdiag.exe in wine, so it's not hugely important to use the native one, to get games to work. I'm not worried about getting a perfect install of directx9, I just want to know which one is 'better' or more helpful to applications that want it for some reason.
