I've never gotten WINE to work with anything useful, and I seriously doubt
it will do 3D rendering. By useful, I mean Word, Photoshop, IE, etc.
The customized WINE that comes with WordPerfect and PhotoPaint9 is supposed
to work.
>Be able to use my TVCard with capture ability.
KWinTV is supposed to be able to that, along with a couple other programs.
You need to get your graphic adapter problems straightened out first, tho,
since that stuff only works in X.
>Be able to play DVD's.
Technically illegal, as DVD de-coding is only supported on Mac and Windows.
Also technically possibly. :-) There's a program out there to do it,
somewhere.
>Wheel support for mouse.
Mine works for me. I told it I had an Intellimouse when I was setting up X,
and there it was.
