Adding card in graphics.config?

I've been playing B&W2 on my laptop. Even after getting the latest patch that adds the 'fur' option in the graphics menu, my creature still doesn't display fur. This hasn't been a problem before, I just resigned myself to the fact that my gfx card wasn't beefy enough to handle it (and I always use the cow anyway and he doesn't really need fur to look right).

Recently, I've decided to give the whole editing my graphics.config fix a try to see if I could force it to display fur. I understand that I have to edit the settings in the graphics.config file and I know where to find it. The problem is that my my graphics card isn't listed. I know I can just add it in, but I have no idea what to write.

I'm using:
Card name: Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family
    Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
        Chip type: Intel(R) GMA 950

I figure I'll have to add something after 'Intel' in the config file, but what exactly do I have to add? '945 Express'? '945GM'? 'GMA 950'?
 
Have you ever been abe to see fur on a creature?

Try all three. If it's not proper, it should ignore it.
 
Nope, haven't been able to see fur since the day I got the game. One of the patches added the option for it in the in-game graphics menu, but it doesn't actually do anything. Same goes for grass/grain, but I couldn't care less about that.

Tried all 3, no changes  :(.

EDIT: Also, I've tried emulating HW Transform & Lighting (I assume that's the main culprit because it's the only thing the System Requirements Lab applet claims I'm missing to run the game) with 3D Analyze, no dice. It doesn't even start up.
 
In that case, I think that's one of the graphics cards which isn't capable of displaying fur.

Sorry :(
 
Oh well. I figured as much. Thought it was at least worth a shot. I'm going to keep trying a few things, will update if I see any changes.
 
In looking at the spec sheet it does have Pixel Shader 2. Is this a laptop?
