I was just thinking, There is DirectX modules out there that can load the DirectX function into your game.
Question is how do you emulate the whole DirectX system. What would be recuired? Have somone already mixured in this area exept Transgaming.
Is there a open source project out?
I guess what i am asking for is a way to use DirectX in Linux.
If you what so ever have any piece of information, please share it :)

I exepected that much, About that it would eat all the gain. Well what i was thinking was if it is possible to use Linux currently under devoping Game graphics SDK and translate DirectX commands into that. But as said, The main thing i really was wondering was if somebody else already started this project, I would like to contrib for it, Its not something i think about starting on my own ;)
I think in this case http://sourceforge.net/pro

Well, here's the answer that you probably don't want to hear: Forget about that. In order to have DirectX working, you'll need at least a Win32 runtime environment, which you night be able to get with WINE. Yet the interprocess communication between a WINE machine and a native Linux process will eat up the DirectX performance gain (if there's anything left after being emulated).
