Yes, "enabled" should mean -1 in that case. It enables all intelligence, 
in both this and future drivers. And I absolutely *expect* that "the 
meaning will change", in fact that should be a design requirement. If 
the driver is improved, I want the improved behavior without recompiling 
my program!

If you really can't stand calling -1 "enable" then I would call it 
"default". Just make sure it is a really short and obvious name.
