	You must install driver for Linux of course. As far as I understand you 
already have properly installed driver for your videocard.
	NVidia card with NVidia driver is best supported setup. ATI has buggy 
drivers, and Intel video drivers are even worse as far as I know.

	In Windows you don't use Linux videodriver. In perfect world user expect that 
if something supported in Windows then it is supported in Linux (and WINE) 
too. But as far as I know in reality it is the case only with NVidia, and 
even NVidia Linux and Windows drivers have some (minor) differences. With 
non-NVidia hardware and drivers differences *may* be major.

	Please note that all virtual machines including VMWare do not support 
hardware OpenGL rendering. So if your program works there then it uses 
software OpenGL rendering instead.
	Maybe Catia doesn't work with current WINE at all? I cannot test it because 
there is no demo. I suggest to report a bug about this problem at 
http://bugs.winehq.org . But before reporting a bug I recommend you to try 
Catia with NVidia hardware and driver if possible. Or if you cannot at least 
try to run old games like Unreal Tournament 99 (it has OpenGL and DirectX 
support) - if even such 8-years old game don't work on your computer then 
almost all modern 3D programs will fail to work too.
	At least oZone3D works perfectly with WINE. If it doesn't for you then this 
is either hardware or driver problem on your side (and not WINE bug). For 
example, maybe Linux driver for your card doesn't support OpenGL 2.0 or have 
a buggy implementation of it.
	Sorry that I cannot give you more advises; as I already said, I know very 
little about non-NVidia videocards.
