OK, but why does it hardlock the kernel?

As I understand section 7.5.5 of Radeon R5xx Acceleration (page 77), r3xx and
r4xx do support loops. I'm confused.

I don't think wine advertises SM3.0, as s.t.a.l.k.e.r. shadow of Chernobyl
doesn't let me choose dynamic lighting, which is expected (BTW it's almost
platinum quality with wine 1.3.20 and mesa 7.11-dev, great work :)

Isn't there a d3dwinfo tool that does the same as glxinfo?
