D3D9 native acceleration on Slackware64 14.1 step by step
hi,
I happen to have a system with literally "tons" of slacky/sbo add-on packages.
(ain't we all ? )
Simply put: upgrading to 14.2 is on hold for the time being.
I would be really glad to try the native acceleration with "wine-nine" aka D3D9 on my radeon HD6770 ("Juniper XT")
Is there a way I update the least amount of packages on my Slackware64 14.1 (multilib) systems and get the windows application fast and lean without a restart/virtual machine?
a list of required packages/compile options would be nice, a slackbuild managing the whole transition would be even nicer
I'm not sure exactly what you are asking for? Are you wanting a slackbuild for Wine with D3D9? Alien Bob's wine SlackBuild has that built in (wine-staging).
I guess, but I could be wrong, that you're talking about Gallium3D NIne support, in which case you should look at wine-staging (requires mesa compiled with -nine option, which is the case since Slackware-14.2)
I think (looking at the latest wine-staging patch set) that by now the gallium-nine patches are part of wine-staging and a separate patch set is no longer required.
Perhaps I should build a new wine package soon.

@Alien Bob,
1. How could I tell these are native direct X (Gallium nine) and not D3DX9_36 workarounds for replacing parts of DX9? What do i look for?
2. Didn't the 1.9.15 include additional patches for native DX9 translation? Where would we look for those additional patches?

After I wrote that post, I went to look more closely and determined that the gallium-nine patches are still separate. A couple of days later I have built new packages for Wine which have both the wine-staging and gallium-nine patch sets applied.

Correct,
and I'm really grateful for it sir! kind thanks!
but, for a while that I was without a patched staging, I did consider to find a patch and couldn't find any good one.
even tried building 1.7.52the last one with old one patch but to no avail...
Is there an advice for seeking out a fresh one, should the need arise again?
How did You come by? Any advice would be interesting
