The current state of open source video drivers for Linux is as far as I know that they only do basic 2D. For 3D you have to use closed-source drivers, which is simply not an option for a lot of people, be that because of stability, compatability or other issues.
Which means that your patch only helps the select few that are using closed-source video drivers, is that correct?
For everybody else, your patch will mean a tremendous slowdown instead, is that correct?
old code should work fine (except for performance issues).
I've never had a performance issue with Starcraft under (recent) Wine, so I don't think improving Starcraft performance is a very good argument. Better to promote other apps from http://appdb.winehq.org/votestats.php that actually run sluggish? Just MHO.
That said, I *will* test your patch when I get home ;-).
