DirectX related question

[Tim Schmidt]

Already looking at buying a new computer to play Supreme Commander
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_commander), is there anything I
can do (including, but not limited to purchasing hardware) to help get
this game running under Wine?  I can't promise miracles, but if I can
break down a few obstacles, consider it done.

Fix the bugs in Wine and send your patches to wine-patches.

File bug reports pertaining to this game, as well as become a maintainer
for the game in our AppDB:

I'll purchase crossover, but it looks like SupComm wants pixel shader
2.0, so I was thinking more along the lines of someone who wants to
hack on DirectX 10, but has no DirectX 10 capable hardware.  Or no
DirectX 10 games to test against, etc.  Anyone?

PS 2.0 is DX9. As mentioned in bug 6570, using GLSL for the shader
backend should help a bit for shader support. The current plan is to
make GLSL the default relatively soon.

I see a demo was released not too long ago, so I might give a try one
of these days.
