Hello all,

I've a problem with wine. I've installed wine 1.4 and I noticed that the direct3d tab doesn't exist in my winecfg.

I also use PlayOnLinux and I installed steam with wine 1.3.xx and it is the same thing: no direct3d tab.

My configuration:

ubuntu 12.04
intel core duo 1.73Ghz
nvidia geforce go 7300 pilote version 295.49

Have somebody ever saw this problem? Can I resolve it?

PS: Sorry for my english

There is no direct3d tab in winecfg. Your screenshot looks perfectly normal.

Maybe I don't use the right word...
Usually you have 3 "menu" in the graphic tab: one for window parameter, another for screen resolution and another for direct3d.
I checked with a friend (who has wine 1.4 on ubuntu 12.04) and he has a "menu" direct3d in the graphic tab.
When I was looking for configure wine, I found some topic with screenshot where you can configure direct3d in the graphic tab.

Maybe you right and wine works perfectly on my computer, but i find it is strange that someone have the direct3d in the graphic tab and not me.

Once there was an attempt to add a new tab with direct3d settings to
winecfg [1] but it was rejected. Your friend may have a custom build
with this patch applied.

Sounds like your friend has some special built 3rd party wine and not normal wine

Hum, i don't know... i should ask him, but i don't believe he has a custom version.

Below a screenshot i found in ubuntu documentation website (http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/wine) :

And what i have:

But no matter, if you say it is normal, it should be normal. I'm a beginner so i have a lot to learn

Thanks your answers.

The screenshot is from an old version of Wine. The Direct3D section was removed from winecfg some time ago (I don't remember exactly when).
