Help with shaders on my graphics card?
Mobile Intel GMA 950
667MHz Front Side Bus Provides up to 25% faster data transfer rate compared to the previous generation bus speed.
Support for dual channel DDR2 667MHz memory technology Support for increased performance memory technology.
Full D-connector support (D1-D5) Enables ease of use for optimally enjoying TV content through D-connector enabled devices.
Integrated high speed USB 2.0 Support for 8 USB 2.0 peripherals for maximum 40x faster data transfer and backward compatible to support USB 1.1 devices.
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950 Exceptional 3D graphics performance for corporate and consumer laptops.
Intel® Matrix Storage Technology 5.5 Enables enhanced performance, power management and data protection for the storage subsystem.
COPP/HDCP/CGMS-A support Enables user to view protected premium video content to be displayed while providing content protection.
Intermediate Z in classic mode Intelligent polygon rendering for enhanced 3D graphics performance.
Adaptive de-interlacing Enables enhanced visual quality of interlaced content on progressive displays.
Intel GMA 950
Driver: Igdumd32.Dll
Need to know anything else?
Well, I thought it didnt run but then skulfuk (user that is pwng and knows a lot about toribash) said this
There's been a handful of people that have managed to get the 950 to do shaders in Windows. TBH I've no idea what driver they've used or how they've done it though.
can you tell me what the driver is if you know? Shaders would be a lot of fun to mess with

Yep shaders are hard to get with some old graphics card. It's also very rigid.
No pointless posts on this board please

The GMA 950 is a bit of a halfbreed when it comes to shader support. On paper it's not capable - the hardware itself doesn't support T&L, or shaders as it's physically a DX7 part.
Despite the hardware not supporting it, Intel created the drivers so it would 'emulate' the features. Through this emulation the 950 gains pixel shaders 2.0, T&L, volume shader 3.0 etc
The problem that leaves you with is finding a driver that will perform the emulation correctly for Toribash.
Check for a newer driver here:

<Erf> SkulFuk: gf just made a toilet sniffing joke at me
<Erf> i think
<Erf> i think i hate you
Well, it depends if your on a laptop or a PC.
If PC then your in luck, well not quite, but I remember reviewing a particular product that's freeware and efficiently emulates Graphics. Although you won't be playing Crisis anytime soon, you should be able to survive with toribash shaders.
The bad thing is that I don't remember what the hell it's called and where the hell it is.
The reason it needs a PC, is because integrated graphics cards kind of 'reject' this application, and will most likely cause severe problems.
Anyway, try googling it.
