Hi guys!

I'm not sure this is the correct forum branch where to ask but I'll try :)

I'have an AMD Radeon R9 290X so it should be enabled for OpenGL 4.1 but after the install and the install-upgrade of all the Mesa 11 versions I still have glxinfo OpenGL version 3.3.

By googling I found that all the people with OpenGL 4.1 have the Kernel 4.2.1: could it be a kernel version problem? I have the 4.0.9.

Anyone could help to check what am I lacking?

Please note that my Gentoo was firstly installed on 2012 and after that I just upgraded it monthly: maybe some old nasty configuration file?

Of course also if I have OpenGL 3.3 DRI and hardware acceleration is active; I have also VDPAU configured and Glamor.

Thank you in advance for any clues.

Sorry guys for posting: it's almost three weeks tests then this exact evening I updated the LLVM package and magically Mesa tells me about 4.1 :)

So: kernel 4.0.9 ok but you'll need LLVM 3.7.0 (which btw is not stable in portage).

Thank you anyway: this issue is solved.

Regards.
