Does ICD activate automaticly?

When testing our OpenGL program on a Matrox G400 it was significantly slower than on the computer it was written on.

Does the program have to activate something before hardware acceleration will activate, or should the card take over the rendering automatically if it can handle it?

No, it should be automagic.

But, if your doing something that the g400 cant do in hardware, it probably flips to software rendering.
