DirectX is a fairly stright foward API once you understand a little bit
about COM and the architecture underlying DirectX (I'm assuming your
talking just about the graphics portion of it: DirectDraw). I haven't seen
anything about DirectX for Linux though someone may have ported it but it
seems like that would be pretty hard as it's architecture is pretty closely
tied to that of Win32 itself. If you really want to get started with
DirectDraw take a look around microsoft's web site (kind of a wierd thing
to say on a Linux mailing list), they have an excellent intro to it and all
you need to know about COM (think of a really broken version of C++) for
DirectX. Try:
