Hi Solomon_Man,

Good question. Although I'm not Joshua, this may shed some light. :-)

An ICD driver (short for Installable Client Driver) is a complete OpenGL driver.

The other variant is MCD which only takes care of some parts of the OpenGL
pipeline, usually rasterization (i.e. drawing). The GLQuake mini-driver is
somewhere in between. - http://web.drzeus.cx/opengl/icd.html
