Additional Comments

Hexagon is very OpenGL dependent and this was only tested on an NVIDIA graphics card with the restricted drivers (1.80). There can be screen redraw issues when switching modes (opening the UV Window) but refreshing the screen draw fixes these problems. The user interface is drawn correctly (tabs, icons ...) if directx9 is installed in Wine (winetricks d3dx9). The installer wants to create a folder and file on the Wine Z:\ drive and so it has to be mapped to a directory with write privileges or the installer will complain. The installer also wants msvcp60.dll but the install works even with these complaints. Finally, the ALT key and the mouse buttons are used for manipulating the camera in Hexagon and if Compiz is being used, it uses this ALT-Button combination to move windows. I recommend changing compiz window manager to use ALT-SUPER-Button1 for moving windows, freeing up ALT-BUTTON1 and ALT-BUTTON2 for proper use in Hexagon. Details about how I got it working are at this forum post at DAZ http://forum.daz3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=114976
