[Wine] direct x (any version)

[yoma819]

i am having problems installing direct x 
i have followed the guide http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=2334
the only problem is it doesnt work
in steam it still says you need direct x 8.0 of greater
i dont know if this is helpfull but it never tells me to reboot after direct x installation
so i assume it is not installing properly
i will hapily post any log files anyone wants me to
help please
