I don't think the caps will really be useful here, but we could retrieve the card and driver name, and skip the test for some combinations. IDirect3D9::GetAdapterIdentifier() for example should return enough information for d3d9. I'm not sure we want to go there though, Alexandre has said before that the tests should simply fail on broken setups.
Was he talking about broken Windows setups or broken Linux setups? It's find to ignore clearly broken Linux setups (e.g. known buggy driver version), but calling every Windows system that does not give the result we want 'broken' is refusing to face reality.
