[Paraview-developers] ParaView 5.0, Mesa 11.0.4, giving OGL version as 3.0

[Ken Martin]

Mesa supports OpenGL version 4.1 IIRC but I believe Mesa supports multiple
drivers under the hood and it sounds like the currently selected driver for
you is reporting OpenGL 3.0. I’m not sure if that means it really only
supports 3.0 or is just reporting 3.0 for legacy reasons. Looking at
http://mesamatrix.net/ it seems like all the listed drivers support OpenGL
3.2. I would say try the override and see if PV works with it.



Thanks

Ken

Mesa 11.0.4 only returns version 3.0 by default.  ParaView is asking for
3.2.  Utkarsh showed me how to override this using an environment variable,
but isn’t this a bug that ParaView is asking for 3.2?



Here is the gl_context down in Mesa:

VersionString     $string *               0x01587d00
0x01607580 -> "3.0 Mesa 11.0.4"





Thanks,

Alan
