Intel "Crocus" Driver For Old iGPUs Bumps OpenGL Compatibility Profile Support

It appears that restriction was a Crockus-shit.

Become programmer and become Mesa Crockus developer. There will be more profit of that than from the criticizing the work of the others.

I wasn't criticizing. I wasn't trash talking. It was nothing more than a phonetic play on words.

I don't like explaining jokes, but since phonetic jokes don't go well with text: Crock of shit is a phrase that can be used to mean surprise, disgust, upset, that a revelation has occurred, and more (but I've covered my uses); it's tone dependent like "that's just great" in regards to it being a good or bad phrase; sarcasm or happiness. I used it in a good way...surprise and revelation from the POV of upset. With my southern drawl accent, crock of shit and Crokus-shit sound really similar.

You mean the driver could have done that the whole time? What a Crokus-shit?

You mean the driver could have done that the whole time? Well cool beans.

Get it now? No harm was intended.

For what it's worth, I completely missed that and I'm hardly new to the phrase "crock of shit".

For those who don't know what a "crock" is:

Thanks for explaining. Taking my words back!

Does anyone know if I would get OpenGL 3.x on a G45 (E5500 iGPU) with this driver?

The previous driver (i965) would give me up to OpenGL 2.x (OpenGL 2.1, I believe).

Thanks in advance.

I still remember when I first learned there is no OpenCL driver for my Sandy Bridge iGPU. I still have the laptop and I would love to see some support on that generation as well.
