You need a context if you're going to ask OpenGL to tell you what the card is. To find out any other way would be highly platform-specific, possibly though looking in the /proc directory on Linux, and who-knows-where-else on other platforms. Also, have a look at tools/info.py in the pyglet project <http://www.pyglet.org/> Richard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
