             Bug #: 34686
           Summary: Neverwinter Nights 2 fails on startup, claiming:
                    "Unable to detect a video card with hardware 3D
                    acceleration."
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.3
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW

Hello folks,

continuation of bug 23839

Message box text now: "Unable to detect a video card with hardware 3D
acceleration. Neverwinter Nights 2 requires a video card that supports then
please make sure that it's enabled."

There are still some property "holes" to be filled until reaching
"bxxAccelerationEnabled" properties.

Add the following ones respecting required datatypes (bool/long/integer).

Hint: you need new helper for long -> VT_I4

--- snip ---
"szDisplayModeLocalized"
"szDisplayModeEnglish"

"szMonitorName"
"szMonitorMaxRes"

"szDriverAttributes"
"szDriverLanguageEnglish"
"szDriverLanguageLocalized"
"szDriverDateEnglish"
"szDriverDateLocalized"

"lDriverSize"
"szMiniVdd"
"szMiniVddDateLocalized"
"szMiniVddDateEnglish"
"lMiniVddSize"
"szVdd"

"bCanRenderWindow"
"bDriverBeta"
"bDriverDebug"
"bDriverSigned"
"bDriverSignedValid"

"szDriverSignDate"

"dwDDIVersion"
"szDDIVersionEnglish"
"szDDIVersionLocalized"

"iAdapter"

"dwWHQLLevel"

"bNoHardware"
"bDDAccelerationEnabled"
"b3DAccelerationExists"
"b3DAccelerationEnabled"
--- snip ---

bNoHardware = false
bDDAccelerationEnabled = true
b3DAccelerationExists = true
b3DAccelerationEnabled = true

This allows Neverwinter Nights 2 to start with Wine builtin dxdiagn and
probably helps various other games that currently require the native version
;-)

You can find countless dumps of those properties in various Internet forums if
you need better default values...

It seems "n/a" and "Failed to get parameter" might be candidates for default
values.
