Howdy all,

I e-mailed wine-users a few days ago, but had no volunteers. I know most of you here aren't the target audience for using winetricks directx9, but since neither Dan or I game much, we need a guinea pig ;-).

Long story short, someone complained that winetricks directx9 crashes on OS X, but works if the windows version is set to xp instead of 2k. Ive played around with it a bit, and it seems that using xp gives a different set of installed files. Which one works better for games, however, I dont know.

So, test it please. If you get winetricks from SVN, there's a beta of it:
http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/winetricks

just use winetricks directx9-beta for the XP version, and winetricks directx9 for windows 2k (on OS X, it forces directx9-beta). Please let me know which version works better for games that need it.

Any problems, file a bug at winezeug
(http://code.google.com/p/winezeug/issues/list). For faster service,
shoot me an e-mail (austinenglish at gmail dot com), since I don't get e-mail notifications of any new bugs there...
