        The problem is not SlimDX. The problem is that SlimDX is a wrapper 
library for DirectX, and there is not DirectX _at all_ in mono.

        DirectX is a library available in Windows. C# is able to use it through 
p/invoke, in Windows, but because the library is already there:

        So, the real question is: the target operating system is Windows? If 
the answer is no, then you won't be able to use DirectX. You can for example 
use SDL and SDL#, which provide access to OpenGL:

        You can then distribute your mono application with the libraries for 
each platform, as the SDL library is multiplatform.

        There are of course, other alternatives, such as Unity3D...
