Ok... I've installed the proper NVidia drivers for my Linux and the game stopped
complaining, everything seems to be working now (except for the GameGuard and
the mouse centering problem, but these were discussed into another topic yet).

Well, the only "problem" that I see in presenting the driver to Windows apps
based in the Linux drivers is that if you don't have a proper, up-to-dated,
Linux driver available for your video card at all, then you're totally
screwed... Also, if you're using some weird unknown adapter installed with its
own wierdo video driver, Wine probably won't be able to properly parse it either.

Maybe it could be able to implement some kind of "Virtual Graphics Adapter
Driver" into Wine. This "Virtual GFD" would contain basicaly the adapter's
vendor and driver version, and maybe some adapter capabilities as well, if
that's required by the adapter. These would be the info presented to the Windows
apps when they require it. Also, this "Virtual GFD" should be something as
simple as possible, with just the basics, allowing the community to provide new
versions of existing drivers as well as creating and supporting new drivers as
soon as they're required.

Ok, I'm not sure whether that's a good idea or not, neither if it's possible to
do so. But then I'm not the expert here, I'm just giving away my 2 cents on
this... ;)

Well, thanks for the help. I'm changing the resolution of this thread to FIXED.

Regards,
asm
