Why only when an Nvidia board is detected? Should it not be possible to detect and display a driver version and card regardless of motherboard? Also is this support built into WINE or do you have a set of patches to enable it?<br>

The only thing we aren't setting are proper strings for the rest we show an nvidia driver version number and card when an nvidia board is detected. Though we don't show the actual card in various cases as we make an estimation based on glxinfo output and some other things. This is because we can't get pci ids from X, relying on e.g. /proc/bus/pci/devices is not the way to go.<br>
