    How to select software-rendering from a program???

    How to select software-rendering from a program???

    I want to use generic windows driver for OpenGL instead of video-cards drivers.
    In some games you can specify what drivers to use, so I want to implement the same option.

    Most (all?) games with that option have their own software renderer, just so that you can use that when a HW graphiccard isnt found, and you dont want the user to be stuck with the generic opengl implementation

    But for your question : get all formats with discribePixelFormat, and check for one with the acceleration flag set to Generic.
