If you run World of Warcraft on Ubuntu, and try to configure WoW’s video settings (Resolution, Vertex Shaders, Pixel Shaders etc.) while running in OpenGL mode, WoW may crash unexpectedly. The workaround is to configure WoW’s video settings while running WoW in d3d mode, or by using a special addon.

The addon is found here http://files.wowace.com/ApplyToForehead/no-ext/, and you should extract the zipped folder in to /Interface/AddOns/ in your WoW directory. Then enable it under AddOns in the choose character screen. You probably need to tick the option, which says Load out of date AddOns, for it to work. You use d3d mode by running WoW with this command in stead of your usual one:
wine wow.exe -d3d
or you can change the line below in wtf/Config.wtf (see more information about COnfig.wtf at here).
SET gxApi "OpenGL"
to
SET gxApi "d3d"

Run the game and change the settings, and then change the line back. If this causes the display to be inverted or otherwise corrupted, do not be worried. The display will correct itself once you switch back to OpenGL. Running in d3d mode is simply so you can set WoW’s video options.
