So is it mean that we don't have to install D3D for games required?? Ans what about the performance did you tried to use CMST? It nearly doubles the FPS in starcraft 2

Is there a way to get this with the default download repository for ubuntu? I'd like to try it out but I tend to break things when I try to manually patch them :(

You can try it via playonlinux, thats what I am doing know. By using Manage Wine Version, download and install wine 1.7.04-CSMT or directly 1.7.11
