Hello Henri and Stefan,

I figured out what seems to be missing using the 'Graphics Profile Checker'
tool:

http://xbox.create.msdn.com/en-US/education/catalog/utility/graphics_profile_checker

--- quote ---
The XNA Framework GraphicsAdapter.IsProfileSupported API enables you to check
whether the current hardware supports the Reach or HiDef graphics profiles, but
this only returns a simple boolean, with no details of why a failing profile
isn't supported.

This utility provides more information about hardware capabilities, by
performing the same checks that are used internally by the XNA Framework and by
displaying their results as a detailed failure report. This can be useful for
investigating driver compatibility problems, and also to see exactly what
hardware capabilities are required for each profile.

Tool report when run under Wine:

Reach
Supported

HiDef
Yikes! I think this profile should not be supported, but XNA says it is
No DestBlendCaps.D3DPBLENDCAPS_SRCALPHASAT
No VertexTextureFilterCaps.D3DPTFILTERCAPS_MAGFPOINT
No VertexTextureFilterCaps.D3DPTFILTERCAPS_MINFPOINT

Hmm, looking at Wine version history this cap was indeed present at some point
and later removed.

Reporting Capabilities for Shader 3 Support

The DirectX 9.0 version driver for a display device that supports pixel or
vertex shader version 3.0 and later must indicate that it supports the
following capabilities:
Vertex shader 3.0 and later

If a device supports vertex shader 3.0 and later, its driver must set the
members of the D3DCAPS9 structure to the following values:
...

SrcBlendCaps, DestBlendCaps

    Set the following source and destination blending modes except where noted:

    D3DPBLENDCAPS_ZERO

    D3DPBLENDCAPS_ONE

    D3DPBLENDCAPS_SRCCOLOR

    D3DPBLENDCAPS_INVSRCCOLOR

After adding all three requested/missing caps XNA is happy (=HiDef support) and
the games do indeed start.

$ wine --version
