Hi!
Apologies if I've missed any e-mails or been slow to answer.
The Linux compat layer, also calle dthe linuxolator or similar, is only 
needed if you want to run Linux binaries on your FreeBSD system.  It is 
different from the Linux KPI that the graphics drivers use.
Likewise, wine is only needed if you want to run Windows applications in it.
Regards
