I read awhile back that either direct-x was about to be sewn into Linux or (and I think this was it) that Intel was going to reimpliment it as a hardware thing. --- My impression of 'games' (and you'd know more than me) is that gaming is moving off of the PC anyway (and toward the gaming device like Sony's). --- I live in a major (the major) PC game company geography and it's the weakest of IT related industries growth wise in it's own geography. I know that. -JCJ

DirectX is not supported on Wine, but OpenGL is. Games like Halflife/Counterstrike, that can do both OpenGL and DirectX actually run with Wine. Performance is not as good as real Windows, so people usually choose dual-boot with Windows 95 when playing these games.

I don't know "Combat Mission", but if it supports OpenGL, it should run with Linux.
