Hi John,<br><br>First of all this are basically two changes in one patch. Keep the vendor one separated from the device string. Second the opengl renderer string shouldn&#39;t be directly returned. In short d3d apps can query the pci id and opengl doesn&#39;t expose it (we aren&#39;t allowed to use /proc for card detection or so) and for that reason we &#39;estimate&#39; what card is used based on the gpu capabilities (supported opengl extensions) and later on also the renderer string to refine the result a bit. For this reason the renderer string doesn&#39;t have to be the same as the pci id that we report.  There are still some changes I have to make to the code and add a device string database.<br>

The registry overrides seemed to make devs uncomfortable, so I&#39;m trying<br>
submitting without them.  They are easy enough to add on top of this change,<br>
if the need arises in the future.<br>
