Phoronix: Mesa Lands GLVND Support For EGL

GLVND is the NVIDIA-led effort for the new "Linux OpenGL ABI" or basically the OpenGL Vendor Neutral Dispatch Library to allow multiple OpenGL drivers to happily co-exist on the same system. Mesa's existing GLVND support has been limited to GLX while now there is EGL support...

which opengl version supports mesa 17?

which opengl version supports mesa 17?

I assume you mean "which opengl version does mesa 17.1 support?"
IIRC, for Intel it's 4.5 for Haswell or newer, 4.2 for Ivybridge, and 3.3 for older chips.
For AMD, it's 4.5 for SI or newer (with LLVM 3.9 or newer) and 4.1 for R600.

I don't know about 17.0, but 17.1 supports GL 4.5 for my home desktop's Radeon 7850 and my work laptop's iGPU (haswell mobile).

I believe that 17.0 also supported GL 4.5 on the Radeon, but I don't know if it did for the haswell chip.

I believe that Ivy Bridge supported GL 3.3 for Mesa 17.0, and now supports GL 4.2 in 17.1

Can't say for sure about other chip makes/generations. GL support in Mesa is dependent upon both the core Mesa support and the code for individual chipset drivers as well. Some chips also depend on a given kernel version for a given GL level as well.

In the case of RadeonSI, the exposed GL version also depends on the installed LLVM version.

Has breakdowns by mesa version and hardware. (Unfortunately the AMD folks aren't too prompt with uploading their information...)

I mean exactly: which opengl version mesa support? (I omitted does because it is useless: "?" is enough)

I have the gt 730: nvidia drivers support up to opengl4.5 mesa 17 up to 3.0 opengl Is it normal?

For the gt 730 (nvc0), 4.5 is supported for 17.1, while for 17.0 it's only 4.3. You maybe looking at the compat profile, which is only 3.0 for mesa. You want to look at the core version, not the compat version.

So how can get the core version working? Or is it working although system information notify the 3.0 version on opengl?

Without 'does' you'd have a grammatical issue in your sentence

As for your question, since you're highly unlikely to use core mesa, it depends on the driver you use.

As for your question, since you're highly unlikely to use standard mesa, it depends on the driver you use.

After installing the distro I have always got this result: mesa 3.0 for x11 although chrome or chromium detect the 3.3 profile. That's important also because the user can choose between 2.0 or 3.1 video opengl profile in some KDE distros.
