Just got this working under Wine 1.5.14 on Linux Mint 13 w/ Cinnamon with a Dell XPS M1530 laptop. Updated the video drivers manually first, did a 'sudo apt-get install wine1.5' and also used apt to get winetricks. Used winetricks to update d3dx9 (sh winetricks d3dx9). I only use Wine for EQ now so I didn't care if it blew away the DLLs in /system32.

Adjusted the eqclient.ini per Shininggg above and it works.

Total Linux newb, and I had banged my head against this for two days building wine, blowing it away and trying to build again a little differently, installing dependencies for everything under the sun, etc., and decided to forget it and just try the package.

Works. I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet but for me the eqclient.ini wasn't generated until I tried running the game for the first time. From there it's smooth sailing.
