I haven't read the whole thread but here's some posts on the Eve forum 
about this that might have some ideas:

 From a quick scan of the thread it looks like you will want the 
official ATI driver, newest version, not the open source driver. There 
is also mention in the thread of a patch for wine that properly installs 
some msv(something).dll but the thread is a few months old so you may 
need to dig at winehq and see if that patch is built into newer wine 
versions already.

The message seems to happen because Eve uses it's patching program to 
decide if your card/drivers are good enough and something with that 
patching program and wine doesn't work right for Eve to recognize your 
card/driver properly. Again, that's a quick scan of the thread and not 
having checked changes for newer wine versions, so you may have to do 
some searching to track it down. It does look like you should be able to 
get it working fine with that card, though.
