Thank you for the well wishes James and Dan. Will def keep the test bot in mind.
Unfortunately no WineTestBot machine has any d3dx9_xx.dll installed (or so it was last time I checked), so no luck there. I don't know if it's possible to install the latest DirectX SDK there: in principle there should be no problem, even if WineTestBot computers are VMs, to test at least a subset of the D3DX API on them (I'm thinking about mesh, math, effects functions, and by the way my beloved shader assembler and compiler functions ;)). Anyway basic testing of D3DX functions is actually doable even without WineTestBot or a Windows installation at hand. d3dx9_xx.dlls are mostly self-contained, you can put native version into your wineprefix (e.g. by installing latest DX SDK under Wine) and, by enabling or disabling native version, you can test native implementation and compare it to your own.
Thank you for working on Wine!
