I did yum install wine wine-devel and a few other things.

Attempting to run video games (Diablo II-LOD and World of Warcraft)
under wine raises an error OpenGL drivers are probably not installed
correctly.

== Question: Which video driver package(s) should I install?


(Sorry, I won't buy nVidia again. Promise. At least not until they
support Linux as well as ATI)

Install the kmod-nvidia and associated packages from ELRepo.  I'd take 
nvidia over ati under linux, the 2D performance from the ati driver is 
horrible, especially under multiple monitor configurations.  The binary 
driver has been very stable for the last 5+ years.  Just my 2 cents...

I agree with Mark Stodola about nVidia. In any case, Brian's problem isn't 
with nVidia, but Wine. You need to install the Windows OpenGL libraries for 
Windows games that need them to operate with Wine. Go to the WineHQ website 
for more information regarding this problem. As I said, it isn't a Linux 
problem, it is a Windows/Wine problem.
