When World of Warcraft is launched (with 3d acceleration enabled) it displays "failed to find a suitable display" and does not start.

It's not supposed to work unless you enable OpenGL mode in this game. The demo works fine here.

Even with -opengl added as command parameter, it still displays the same message.
