Is there a way to get the video card details installed on a user’s computer from inside of a gl program.
yeah, i guess it is somehow possible through the opengl implementation. there’s some nehe-tutorial about (http://nehe.gamedev.net).
best regards,
Tolga.
ps: of course you have to “guess” what card exactly it is. you’ll get the extensions supported by the driver.
it is the 25th lesson at nehe…
There is usually no good reason to seek out specific video card information. The most you should really be concerned with is if one or more particular extensions are available and what version of OpenGL is supported.

yeah, but one could want for more information output…
anyway, i should clean my glasses: usually the driver knows the vendor/renderer string.
