Doogee:
yeah very beta and they say theres no guarantee it will even compile.
but winex from CVS is fine except it doesnt have copy protection so u need to get a no dc patch to run the games.
KernelPanic:
I fact it's not 'very beta' at all.
These are the CVS tags of the stble versions you can get:
winex-2-2-1 - Stable
winex-2-2 - Stable
winex-2-1 - Stable
winex-2-0-branch - Stable
If you use no CVS tag then, yes you do get the latest, possible buggy version.
Also, don't forget to use --enable-opengl and --with-x when you configure.

actually the reason i want winex to run is that i have a fully registered version of sound forge 5.0 that i have not found a linux alternative for, and it requires directx 8. It also needs to write to the registry in order to register itself, so i am not sure how these things are worked out in wineX but i suspect i might not be able to use this windows-intensive program in linux anytime soon...
KernelPanic:
Give it a shot Calum, there's nothing to lose.

I may have just run across the solution to the StarCraft thing:

RedHat 7.2, 7.3, 8.0
====================
Default Kernels shipped by RedHat in versions 7.2, 7.3, and 8.0 include
patches that can cause significant performance degredations in WineX. Both
EverQuest and StarCraft are affected by these issues. For best results,
install a stock Linux kernel from Kernel.org. TransGaming is paying close
attention to this issue and we hope to have it resolved in the next WineX
release.
