1. How do I check for the presence of a 3d accelerator? 2. My 3dfx accelerator forces a slpash screen at the very beggining of a fullscreen opengl programm. Can this feature be switched off?

For Q1, it kinda depends on what you mean.. you can use DirectDraw to enumerate display devices available on the computer for finding non-primary accelerators, and you can create a 3D device for that display to find out if it has a Hardware Acceleration Layer and if so, what it supports.
