Sorry. This is a bit of a "me too" post. I've recently "discovered"
CounterStrike; it's fun!

Does wine support proper OpenGL? (I haven't looked at it in aaages). Does it
use Windows GL drivers? Or does it include links to Linux GL libraries?
Do you need the DirectX patches to get HL working with OpenGL? (I shouldn't
think so, seeing OGL & D3D are almost competitors, but stranger things've
happened).

Maybe it's time to look at WINE again. ^_^

Still, if CounterStrike doesn't work, it seems it's mostly about waiting, since
it's #1 on the priority list (as voted by subscribers) at transgaming.com. ^_^
