Hi,
I investigated some more time and found this:

PS 2.0 = DirectX 9.0
PS 2.1 = DirectX 9.0a/b
PS 3.0 = DirectX 9.0c

by setting caps->PS20Caps.NumInstructionSlots = 512; HL2 detects PS3
by setting caps->PS20Caps.NumInstructionSlots = 511; HL2 detects PS2.0

actually HL2 uses PS2.1 whenever PS3 is detected (because if PS3 is supported,
PS2.1 has to be supported too).

Have a look at WINEDEBUG=+d3d_shader

The problem is somewhere inside the PS2.1 code.

The only way to force PS2.0 are the hacks recently posted.
