wine users - Jun 2008 - Fake Directx hardware pixel shader

I have this same "problem" on windows.

Team fortress 2 refuses to run
"Engine Error
Your graphics hardware must support at least pixel shader version 1.1 to run
this game!"

Most of you are probably thinking maybe i should get a new graphics card, no
thanks, i rather never play the game.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_shaders
"A pixel shader serves to manipulate a pixel color, usually to apply an
effect on an image, for example; realism, bump mapping, shadows, and explosion
effects"
i don't care if its pink dots over black, i just want to see blobs of matter
move.

i'm willing to edit the code if necessary, but first i want to make sure
i'm not reinventing the wheel.

So what do you want from Wine? If your hardware is not enough for the game. Get
a better card. That's all you can do.

I have the same problem, but my card should be up to par. The specs say it
supports Pixel Shader 1.4, so I should be able to run it. I get this error
though.
