When using org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.allowSoftwareOpenGL=true, is it possible to detect if software mode is being used?

Don't think there is a LWJGL API or method (without going native) to detect software mode. In any event its a hopelessly useless mode anyway and provides no practical performance (hence its disabled by default).

It seems some GPUs may not be detected correctly:

As it is now, I can enable software mode but I have no way of warning the user
why
they may be seeing poor performance. I think the way to go is what the TWL Theme Editor does:
