Native dxdiag is checking the name of the display driver which in our case winex11.drv and I guess this is just the identifier of Winex11.drv. Inside winex11.drv we don't really have the knowledge about the 3d hardware we are emulating. In the end we might need to duplicate some card detection code inside winex11.drv and show a real driver name like the Nvidia or ATI ones. It would be a lot of work and only be worth if apps really need it.
I'm not sure if this is exactly the same string you're looking at, but Fallout 3 currently requires a hack for the display driver information or it will just crash when you try to start a game ( http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15839).

This is part of the info which we aren't reporting properly right now. Actually the best thing is to report a fake card and drivers as some games use this info to work around driver bus. Other class of programs are too stupid and need 100% correct info. Fallout3 is one of those cases. The registry changes are more or less fine.
