If the driver enables all the ARB extensions which are part 27bf215546Sopenharmony_ciof OpenGL 1.3 then glGetString(GL_VERSION) will return "1.3". Otherwise, 28bf215546Sopenharmony_ciit'll return "1.2". 29bf215546Sopenharmony_ci 30bf215546Sopenharmony_ciA number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for 31bf215546Sopenharmony_cisome time. We rely on volunteers to maintain many of the drivers. 32bf215546Sopenharmony_ciHere's the current status of all included drivers: 33bf215546Sopenharmony_ci 34bf215546Sopenharmony_ciDriver Status 35bf215546Sopenharmony_ci---------------------- --------------------- 36bf215546Sopenharmony_ciXMesa (Xlib) implements OpenGL 1.3 37bf215546Sopenharmony_ciOSMesa (off-screen) implements OpenGL 1.3 38bf215546Sopenharmony_ciFX (3dfx Voodoo1/2) implements OpenGL 1.3 39bf215546Sopenharmony_ciSVGA implements OpenGL 1.3 40bf215546Sopenharmony_ciWind River UGL implements OpenGL 1.3 41bf215546Sopenharmony_ciWindows/Win32 implements OpenGL 1.3 42bf215546Sopenharmony_ciDOS/DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.3 (new in Mesa 4.0.2) 43bf215546Sopenharmony_ciGGI needs updating 44bf215546Sopenharmony_ciBeOS needs updating 45bf215546Sopenharmony_ciAllegro needs updating 46bf215546Sopenharmony_ciD3D needs updating 47bf215546Sopenharmony_ci 48bf215546Sopenharmony_ci 49bf215546Sopenharmony_ci---------------------------------------------------------------------- 50
