In most C compilers their are comands to query what graphics adapter is in use.
My manual on Mix C has the command 'getvconfig' that reurns a pointer to a
construct containing all sorts of info...(x&y resolution, aspect ratio, 
number of colors, etc). From this you should be able to figure out what
adapter is being used.
