As per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Direct3D_and_OpenGL "Several partially functional ports of the Direct3D API have been made by Wine, a project to port common Windows APIs to Linux, but this work is difficult due to the dependency of DirectX as a whole on many other components of Windows." IOW, Wine is your best (software libre) option at the moment. > the only thing keeping Windows on my home system is my addiction to <a game> Do a search on http://appdb.winehq.org/ to see to what extent people have gotten that game you want to run working. You might also want to consider virtualizing a version of Windows just for gameplay if it turns out that it doesn't run great yet... -- Microsoft has a majority market share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
