    Phoronix: Fedora 22 To Have Direct3D 9 Mesa State Tracker, Add Wine Support

    For those doing Windows gaming with Wine on Fedora Linux installations, the experience will potentially be better for Fedora 22 if using the open-source Gallium3D Radeon or Nouveau drivers...

    Awesome! Hopefully more distributions will follow suite and offer their wine packages with the Gallium9 glue patches applied, which could put quite a bit of pressure on the wine developers.

        DirectX 9 from 2002.

        No DirectX 10 or 11.

          Any improvement if using Nvidia Blob ? Using Nouveau for Gaming does not look relevant...

            Yes, I also wonder how DirectX support could come for proprietary nvidia drivers?

              well you can say the same for opengl 4, etc.

              But after all, you could have done it, right? 2002: why didn't you write d3d9 for mesa long ago ?

                People always say DX9 is old hat, but you can play pretty much every game released until now with it.

                  The greatest thing about open source software is that even if wine developers keep on being donkeys and won't add these features to wine, alternatives and forks will, and they will just replace wine altogether. At the end of the day, we, end users will still profit.

                    That's not nice to say "keep on being donkeys"...
