Is there someone working on dxdiag?

[Mirek]

Hi, I would like to start some applications like Carmageddon TDR 2000 in 
HW mode, Neverwinter Nights 2 or just GetGPUAndSystemInfo.exe from 
Nvidia SDK demos and maybe 3DMark with HW info, but there are problems 
with detecting video card, I assume the main problem is in dxdiag 
library. So I would like to ask if there is someone working on this 
library, or if was there some code which was not accepted in wine tree 
to fix that? I am trying to hack this library, but with only small success.

have you tried plopping in a native dxdiag app. to see if it does enough for
the application to think the environment is alright? It would be pretty cool
to have a native Wine dxdiag though... Having a standardized set of tests
would be very helpful, not to mention for the log output function, would
simplify a lot of things for when d3d is good enough for the mainstream.

WOOOOW, it is working, with native dxdiagn.dll I can start Neverwinter 
Nights 2 without any problems, coool :)

No, no one is working on that DLL. As Bryan Haskins has said, you can use 
native dxdiagn.dll, but maybe this does more harm than good because no one 
will implement it in wine. The native DLL comes with all sorts of licensing 
issues. Even though there are more important parts of DirectX that need 
improvement, like dsound, dplay, dmusic or a start of a d3d10 implementation.
