[Wine] Incorrect Video Card Recognization

First off, I'm a Linux newbie, so some things that should be basic knowledge might go over my head and I apologise for that in advance. I've already done a bit of digging on this, but I've hit a point where I just don't know how to figure it out any further.

I just put a new machine together with a GeForce GTX460 SE video card. I'm running 64-bit Linux Mint 10 and WINE 1.2.2, and I've got NVidia driver 210.19.06 installed (the most current, according to Mint's 'Additional Drivers' tool in the control centre).

The problem is that any program I try to run in WINE thinks I've got a GeForce 8300 GS and severely limits my graphics options.

Video Card ID from Star Wars Galaxies:

Code:
Video Description: NVIDIA GeForce 8300 GS
Video Identifier: 0x10DE[v], 0x0423[d]
Video Driver Version: 6.15.0011.9745
Video Memory Size: 128 MB
Vertex Shader Version: 3.0
Pixel Shader Version: 3.0
DirectX Version: 9.0c



and here's the output from lspci:

I appreciate any help anyone can give me on this.
