Additional Comments
Using emulated desktop to run in 1920x1200 resolution. FSAA and AF work, vsync does not. Some very minor graphical issues but overall excellent quality and perfectly playable.
If the setup program asks for 'setup.exe', kill it, and then run 'killall -9 IKernel.exe'
Place d3dx9_25.dll in Wine's windows/system32 directory
To allow camera change by holding down the right mouse button, edit input.cfg found in <game dir>/profiles/<profile name> and change MOUSE_AXIS_X & MOUSE_AXIS_Y to 90. The C: drive can normally be found in ~/.wine/drive_c.
If the game does not allow you to choose a resolution higher than 1024x768, run regedit and add the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D, then add the string value VideoMemorySize and set it to the amount of video memory you have

Displaying problems

I'm experiencing very weird problem.
During the game some contents won't display. In example when Im in my castle and I click Recruit creatures nothing shows up. Can't do that straight from building too.
Same thing when I try to run campanion - I click on scenario name and nothing displays.
The game doesn't crash, I can return to what I was doing, so I don't think it's hardware issue.
Any help please?
Thanks.

I was able to run this game fullscreen in 1920x1080 without flickers under Ubuntu 10.04x64 (Core I7 + Radeon 5750)
- Make sure to disable compiz (Remove flickers)
- Run winecfg and toggle desktop emulation to the resolution you want, you might need to edit your HOMM IV profile in profiles folder in your game folder and set the resolution matching your emulated desktop resolution.
