wine users - Sep 2008 - change graphic card ID

hi guys :)

I would like to play SPORE with wine. I have read a lot of commands that this
should be possible with the current wine build (witch special patch).

My problem is, that SPORE doesn't like my graphiccard. So it alerts that my
GC isn't supported by the game.

Is it possible to change the graphiccard ID string, that wine will given to the
game?

The alert is a only a warning?

no, after the alert the game ends :(

did you launch the game using the -safe flag?

wine Sporebin/Sporebin.exe -safe

Yes, I tried it. 
First there comes the alert:

> The system is below our min spec, and we cannot run at all.

than a secound one:

> Running in safe mode

than the game ends.



Do you think, that the graphiccard-alert is no error, but only a warning and the
stoping of the game has another reason?

Which video card do you have and can you paste the terminal output when you run
the command

lspci:
> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400M G (rev
a1)

wine output:
