Diablo II and Direct3D?

[Stefan Dösinger]

Hello,
I am trying to get the Diablo II Demo with Direct3D working, to test it with 
my D3D7 implementation. However, the Video test program refuses the D3D 
implementation and offers only DDraw. This happens with my implementation and 
the original in Wine.

A few people said that D3D works. I have looked at the AppDB, but it didn't 
contain any information.

Can anyone help me? How can I get this game to start with D3D?

Thanks
Stefan

Apparently the video test won't detect d3d right with a wine desktop. 
Disabling it makes it work again.  Also I had to hack the gamma
functions to make the game run in d3d now.  I guess this means that
gamma controls are now broken.

Just sent a patch which should fix this. At least now I can choose
'Direct3D' from the list :-)
