very simple code. just paste it in any project to see the static text with info about your hardware

The code is very simple but boring to be written.

the result can change if you use EDT_SOFTWARE, EDT_DIRECT3D8 ecc.
remember to set the correct driver

an example while using that in the hello world example using EDT_OPENGL drivers

Thanks for this, useful for quickly dumping out driver info in a readable format, might be a good idea to write out to an external text file too

thanks for comments. Sure i'm adding this to my game engine. such infos will be written into a XML file. i'm deciding about if writing it as xml comment or something more elaborated. anyway the string with all the infos will be the same of the above. i've seen an interesting thread about such things. i will add a post there
