For cards that are known not to work - the "Crash on select" or "It reboots my computer" or "Blender has no interface", we could fallback to Mesa/Software OpenGL.
This really isn't a fun job to set this up on all systems, but theres nothing stopping us from doing it we really want to drop support for older cards while keeping them working on a basic level. It would be nice to have this ability anyway so users can check if their bugs are hardware/driver related.
