That's great!

Ouch. In that case, now is a good time for new beginnings.

You're in good company. Most of us can attest to that.

When you run Wine from the command line (open the "Terminal" app), it
prints error messages and the like to the terminal. That's what we want.

Just run Wine from the command line. Then you can copy and paste from
Terminal. If you don't know how to run Wine from the command line, see

I think you can force WoW to run in OpenGL mode with:
 wine wow -opengl
from the WoW directory.

There's also a setting in WoW's config files that controls this.

But since you're asking, and the default on Windows is DirectX, I'm
going to assume you're running it under DX (which gets translated to
OpenGL anyway). In that case, we'll need terminal output from WoW, too.

You can't control it from WoW's GUI because the default (DirectX) works
for most Windows users. (Wine users are another story. :)
