[Wine] How does wine "detect" graphicscard-hardware

[MacNean Tyrrell]

If your talking about sunshafts/Liquid Detail/Shadow Quality or um
forget the other one,they may not be supported under dx9/OpenGL.  And
wine doesn't support DX11 at this time.  And if they aren't, even tho
you think your tricking wine, I bet it just defaults to what it
believes is supported.  Wine has always detected my card fine for dx
games, in ME2 under system scan, says NVDIA 260 GTX, lists the DX
version (9c).  Anything I can't set is usually related to OpenGL or
DX9 not supporting it.
