I think it’s likely that the initial launcher isn’t going to switch discrete graphics mode in to detect it. (Isn’t it just a python script?)
You’re either going to have to go off of the chipset detected or maybe add some GL intense splash screen to the launcher that causes the system to kick over to discrete mode in order to detect the discrete GPU.

What I think you're saying, though, is that detection of the issue may be complicated. In fact it might be impossible for SL_Launcher.exe to detect which potential graphics driver is configured to handle our viewer. Is that a fair statement? _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
