I think it is a resource string in winex11.drv.

Concerning this topic, there are some apps that try to load the nvidia/ati
specific driver files, and have vendor specific strings. City of Heroes
tried to find nvogl.dll(or similar, don't remember exactly). I don't know
what it tried to do with it, but this could potentially be a bigger problem
than just a string in dxdiag.
