title: Find out name of graphics card driver in a C++ OpenGL program
body: <p>I'm searching for a way to find out the name of the currently used graphics card driver inside a C++ OpenGL program. At best would be a platform-independent way (Linux and Windows). The only thing I could find was <a href="http://linux.koolsolutions.com/2009/04/24/tip-how-to-check-which-video-driver-is-your-x-server-using/" rel="nofollow">this</a> but that's a shell solution and might even vary along different distributions (and still, Windows would be a problem).</p>
  
  <p>I already looked at glGetString() with the GL_VENDOR parameter, however that outputs the vendor of the graphics card itself, not the driver. I couldn't find any options/functions that give me what I want. </p>
  
  <p>Is there an easy solution to this problem?</p>
