Are there any X functions that winex11.drv can use to get the strings used for
a particular screen? Eg. in xorg.conf, I have:
Section "Device"
...
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "nVidia Corporation"
BoardName "NV80 [GeForce 8600 GT]"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
...
EndSection
I can't imagine that being inaccessible by X apps.. and I believe I've seen
some apps report this info. It's something gdi32/user32 can then get for a
particular screen/adapter by calling into winex11.drv (if not also something
wined3d can use), instead of reporting "X Windows" for the card name.
