RE: A little driver-specific tip

Oh yeah, sure a good idea.  We do have one such a utility for ntuf_xf.dll.
The source code is in "drivers" directory.  Anyone willing to extend it?
BTW: Many Video drivers specs (resolution and DirectX version etc) can be 
queried through control panel-->display.  I know nVidia comes with a utility
which you can use to explore the the specs of video drivers.  If a user's
vendor supplied
video driver has such a utility, he can use it.. of course it won't
create startxwin.bat.
