That's not saying we don't do anything - but it's not as central as other themes are.

I wonder if it would be possible to create configuration files based on OpenGL capabilities to set certain options, mucht like a joystick configuration file but instead for video cards.
The glxinfo utility shows an awful lot of information which probably be used for tuning the default setup.
[...]And the option to turn on specific ALS options for certain OpenGL renderers.
For instance mine is "GeForce 9600 GT/PCIe/SSE2" which can have almost anything set to on without much hit on frame-rate except for procedural 3d textured cities which hurts performance badly.
But it does not allow to set the densities much higher than default.

The only thing I want to do is detect the video card and based on the GL renderer name turn on ALS (or not), turn on water shader (or not), turn on the 3d city shader (or not), etc.
The default would not be touched but based on the detected video card certain options would get enabled, making the first impression much more pleasant (for first time users).
Hooray,I'm sorry to interrupt,but the discussion is off topic.
