If you mean that the slider bar for the video settings it at the lowest 
option (or close to it) then that is just the way it is, for a couple of 
reasons. No matter how good your video card is, for now at least, you 
are probably stuck with lowest or close to lowest graphics in WoW. 
Blizzard ties some of the options for graphics to the reported memory on 
your card and Wine doesn't report that number correctly. There are 
instructions on the some of the related webpages (I don't remember if it 
is the appdb or the wiki) to manually set the video memory to try and 
fix this. I have never been able to get that to make a difference, but 
that could be my hardware so it may be worth researching to see if it 
helps you. Also, some of the new graphic features in WoW require a newer 
version of directX than Wine is up to yet.
