It's the reverse of that - MoI currently uses DirectX.

But just an option for rendering using OpenGL would not help with Wine - in addition to DirectX MoI also uses a lot of the mshtml.dll and COM windows subsystems which are not well emulated by Wine.

So I would not expect MoI to run under Wine even if doing a rendering port to OpenGL.

However, I would still like to do that kind of "rendering system" mini port at some point because it would help with running under a virtual machine emulator under Mac OS X, stuff like VMWare or Parallels would be able to run more smoothly with that.

But Wine is different, it won't help there.
