Comment 4 for bug 298504

As I understand it it's the Intel drivers that does the software emulation. I searched for references for that card on the Ogre forum, and the consensus there is that it's not really supported since the drivers are broken in places; the card reporting incorrect capabilities etc. And that the shader support is really spotty, being software based. That might however have changed with newer drivers.

Anyway, the cool thing here is that you've obviously have gotten Ember running on OSX, which is great news!!
