Wine is great for games, but it does not currently offer a real solution for anti-aliasing.

If you have an nVidia card and nVidia's drivers installed though, you can force the antialiasing, just like you can in Windows with e.g. RivaTuner.

Go to your KDE 'start' menu and pick "Configure Nvidia X Server Settings"
OR press Alt+F2, type "nvidia-settings" (without the quotes) and in the dialog box do this:

- Go to the "Antialiasing Settings" section
- Check the checkbox "Override Application Settings" and set it to a value you feel comfortable with. I set it to 8X for my 6600GT card.
- Under "Texture Quality", put a checkmark in the box that says "Texture Sharpening"

Leave this window open and start your game/program with Wine. You should be able to experience much better visuals this way! Tested this myself on "Secret Files Tunguska" and "Dreamfall".

You can close it when you're done with your program. I'm not aware of a way to save these settings.
