It's a pity Luca Barbieri or any Mesa / Gallium3D developers are not at Oktoberfest as they are deserving of more than a few Maß of Augustiner. In fact, today a new Gallium3D state tracker was pushed into Mesa and it's perhaps the most interesting state tracker for this open-source graphics driver architecture yet. It's a state tracker that exposes Microsoft's DirectX 10/11 API on Linux! And it's already working and can be hooked into Wine!

Quoting:And it's already working and can be hooked into Wine!


There are more interesting things that can be done with Linux implementation of DirectX than hooking it into Wine - like porting all those DirectX games natively to Linux. One major hurdle less, at least.

This information effectively changes nothing. Until I see my DX10/11 games running at close the same performance they see in Windows under Wine or until I see a native port of them - this is useless.

Jeff, that's a piss-poor attitude to have.

He doesn't want encouraging news, he wants what's coming to him, on a silver platter, right now!
