I've been porting my 3D scene editor over to Linux (see 
http://mse.sourceforge.net/). So far the basics are working, but the 
editors are taking a bit longer (textures, polygons, solids etc.).

The Windows versions is already there and I released a very early version 
of the sources for Linux. However, since I wrote my editor with Delphi and 
Kylix on Linux, you need that package first - it's a commercial product 
from Borland and I can't see too many takers (!) until Borland release the 
GPL version later this year.

I released Model Scene Editor under GPL earlier this year.

If you are doing a Linux port, how about a Windows version that does not
require DirectX?  For linux you will have to use something different
anyway.

  Why not? Is there some windows out there which doesn't have it?

NT4, has only a few things of directX 3 and can't be updated.

As ingo mentioned, Windows NT.

I would consider OpenGL as the better alternative, concerning portability
anyway.  I never programmed DirectX, but as far as i have heard and read,
it's also much more difficult to handle.

Already done, though I haven't posted updates as yet.
