On the subject of actually supporting software devices, we should probably implement those by creating a software or reference adapter with appropriate gl_info and pipe implementations and creating a device based on that.
Wouldn't that conflict with how adapters work in the d3d8/9 API? There an adapter identifies the display hardware, not necessarily the rendering device.
A little, but the adapter as such is never exposed in those APIs, just its index. For cases where it matters (e.g. CheckDeviceFormat()) you also get a device type parameter.
So you want to separate d3d9 adapters from wined3d adapters? Sounds ok to me. We should just find a new name for one of them when(and if ever) we write a SW vertex pipeline.
