#80: The parts you removed are the most important parts.
I've attached a slightly different take on this: since there are only 2 driver names, it chooses the name based on the description. That should allow this patch to work even when the table changes in future revisions. It works for me (ATI) in Oblivion and Fallout 3.
I'd actually prefer a combination of the first proposed patch and this one. That way you get autodetection, but also in case of games that require specific cards, you can fake it.
