Hi,
After hearing your about your work on d3d8, I'm particularly interested in the implimentation of Direct3dCreate8. I had been working on a version of my own several weeks ago, but never had time to complete, hoping it would fix a problem with Warcraft 3's very hackish opengl mode. The game has a problem where, if it minimizes for playing movies, it forgets it's hdc -- SwapBuffers only shows (00000000) in a trace even after I restore the window. I checked out the code in x11drv for minimizing and it seems to be fine. I think the problem is in their hackish code for opengl, because even though I explicitly tell it to use opengl, it still makes a call to Direct3dCreate8 at game start before minimizing for the opening movie. Wierd. The game must be very dependent on a working d3d8.dll, no matter what. So that's the only lead there for the moment.
So I'll try out that specific function and see how it works. If it looks good, I can prepare a patch for that against the current wine tree, cleaning it up where necessary. Let me know if you think if this is ok.
