My heart says it's about a "lack of transparency" Assuming you mean having more control over hardware then Linux would be an obvious solution, but it seems the OP didn't like that either. yes I was referring that over transparency effects. Would there be a 9x themed Linux for that matter?

S3D support for DxWnd was discussed here: https://sourceforge.net/p/dxwnd/discussion/general/thread/824588dc1d/ My bad. I was under the impression someone was handling it. There is a game which has the S3D dlls with it, Terracide by Eidos. It doesn't run with and DDraw wrapper out there, but DxWnd. …

Intel drivers are random, so this behaviour isn't something new. You may consider using a different ddraw.dll. Old DX isn't changing anytime soon (except a few features getting deleted here and there) but nothing of a sort that stopps Carma2 from running. The base DirectDraw dll and the Direct3D …

I think somebody's working on S3D support. You mean Tuxality maybe? I think he made some significant progress in the past with PowerVR wrapper only. @BEEN_Nath_58 mentioned someone was working on it on the dxwnd sourceforge forum. @BEEN_Nath_58 isn't that the case? Tux was working on the SGL …

They were shipped in the post. I think customs don't tax them because they have VGA connectors, so they see it as old junk.
