This is functionality supposed to be implemented in dxdiag. There's a super-basic implementation of it (with no gui); if you're interested in improving it, by all means :)
Cool. However, there are two things. The first is wine should stop reporting GF8300, or whatever, and start reflecting on a fact it doesn't know what graphic card user has. It seems to be better if it did report something like: "Unknown graphic card. See wiki for problem No.123". Then user would launch his favorite web search engine, looked up for "wine problem 123" which would take him to wiki page with description what to do: * how-to get PCI ID - lspci, or nvidia-settings, I don't know how about AMD * how much memory graphics card have - a lot of ways how to find out * manufacturer/model/whatever * file bug at winehq or send all above to the mailing list
Wine could also write some of above eg. PCI ID into console, because it has this information available at that point.
As for the thing you've mentioned, I feel it is quite pointless without changing the first. As for GUI, I'm personally fine with CLI application. Anyway, please, point me in the right direction and I'll check it out.
Thanks.
