 Posted: Mon Jan 18, 2016 6:54 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Problem with OpenGL version |
 |
|
Hi,
I've a radeon card (HD6450) and according to the wiki page, I am supposed to have OpenGL version 3.3 (I also checked the page: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/) . But when I run | Code: | | glxinfo | grep info |
I get the following result :
| Code: |
server glx version string: 1.4
client glx version string: 1.4
GLX version: 1.4
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 11.1.1
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 2.0 Mesa 11.1.1
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 1.0.16
|
As you can see, my OpenGL version is 2.1, not 3.3.
I've tested with another distribution (Arch Linux) and the version is 3.3.
I followed the instructions in the wiki page and I even installed the latest version of mesa but I'm still with OpenGL version 2.1.
Thanks

teenal, please post the outputs of
| Code: | | $ glxinfo | grep -i opengl |
(gives you more detailed information)
and
.
Since you have read the wiki page about radeon, I assume you configured your kernel to load the necessary firmware blobs. |

Output of `glxinfo -B` would be more useful, this is what it prints on my 6450 (working):

Hi,
@zino
The output of | Code: | | glxinfo | grep -i opengl |
is the same as above, it's just an error when I typed the command, sorry.

+bindist
+classic
-d3d9
-debug
+dri3
+egl
+gallium
+gbm
-gles1
-gles2
+llvm
+nptl
-opencl
-openmax
-osmesa
-pax_kernel
-pic
+udev
-vaapi
-vdpau

-video_cards_radeonsi
-video_cards_vmware
-wayland

@Ant P.
My glxinfo doesn't recognize the -B option.
@Aquous
No I've mesa build with bindist set. |

teenal, you should definitely rebuild mesa with USE="-bindist" as Aquous suggested.
If you look at the description for the bindist use flag you will see that it disables the OpenGL extensions ARB_texture_float, EXT_texture_shared_exponent and EXT_packed_float in mesa and all of them are requirements for OpenGL 3.0 compliance.
By the way, it might even be a good idea to disable the bindist use flag globally. |
