It occurs to me that, even though the i965 driver can support OpenGL 3.1 on some hardware, glxinfo will only (ever) say 3.0. We don't support GL_ARB_compatibility,
What features of GL_ARB_compatibility are you missing? Do you plan on supporting GL_ARB_compatibility someday?
so 3.1 isn't backwards compatible with 3.0 or earlier. Should we update glxinfo to try creating a 3.1 context if possible?
I think so.
So far, all future versions of OpenGL are backwards compatible with 3.1. Failing that, should it try 3.2 core, then 3.1, then 1.0 (current behavior)?
I think so. I actually started hacking on this a while ago. Would you be interested in a patch if I can find it?
I already anticipate the bug reports of people wondering where 3.1 is when they look at glxinfo output...
Definitely. -Brian _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
