Since I can no longer get OpenGL textures to work under Wine, I'd like to try to get the DirectX emulation working. However, when I configure an app to use DirectX, I get a "You have selected a mode your graphics card does not support" message.
Well, the DirectX mode in HalfLife is using Direct3D... And that code is a complete W.I.P. in the WineHQ tree so I really doubt that it would work better than OpenGL.
I think your time would be better spent trying to pinpoint at which time the regression occured (ie does an old Wine work with your current set-up or does an old set-up work with current Wine, ...). Finding a simpler application than HalfLife showing the problem would be nice too.
