About:
GemRB (Game engine made with pre-Rendered Background) is a portable open-source implementation of Bioware’s Infinity Engine. It was written to support pseudo-3D role playing games based on the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset (Baldur’s Gate and Icewind Dale series, Planescape: Torment). It should run on GNU/Linux, Microsoft Windows, OS X, possibly other UNIX derivatives and more. It is licensed under the GPL.

Now if only all the WeiDu patches worked with it too.
If the WeiDu mods worked with GemRB I’d never need wine again.
OK. Ignore everything I just said. I just tested with BGT and wide screen mod. Works great!
NICE! I was just about to ask you about BG2, PT, and IWD2 for Linux… now I know :)
I’m playing all 3 of those currently and can’t wait till Baulder’s Gate Enhanced comes out this year!
