I'm running kubuntu hardy heron (Directly from the CD, except for updates, firefox, and hopefully starcraft.). I'm not yet a linux expert ether (I was fed up with Broken windows.)

Open a terminal window, type regedit and press enter. This will start the Wine equivalent of the windows registry editor. If you are familiar with using the registry editor under windows then this is pretty much the same.

1.

Find this key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\
2. Highlight the wine folder in the left hand pane by clicking left on it. The icon should change to an open folder
3.

Right-click on the wine folder and select [NEW] then [KEY]
4.

Replace the text New Key #1 with OpenGL
5.

Right-click in the right hand pane and select [NEW] then [String Value]
6.

Replace New Value #1 with DisabledExtensions (Notice it’s case sensitive!)
7. Then double click anywhere on the line, a dialog box will open.
8.

In the value field type GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object

Note: If you are unable to rename the newly created key “New Key #1″ to “OpenGL” then expand the left hand pane of the regedit window using the vertical divider bar. You should now be able to change it. A known bug in Wine is causing this unwanted behavior.”

If we don't let the developers know that we want their products, we will forever be chasing our tails (and the Windows API) with Wine.

The bug might not be a deal-breaker for Starcraft, but for other games it really is.
