Details

This bug is to do a similar idea to bug 722225 for the case where 10.0 and 10.1 calls both do not work.  In those cases we shouldn't try these calls at all.

We should store VENDOR ID and DEVICE ID of the graphics card (can be retrieved through gfxInfo), if anything changes, try again with 10.0 and 10.1.

This task was suggested by Bas.

I haven't
I haven't tried this yet so I'm not sure if there will be any gains on startup yet. In particular the call might be fast when it's not supported.  Please review bug 722225 independently since I know there is for sure a significant win there.
