If the driver enables all the ARB extensions which are part +of OpenGL 1.3 then glGetString(GL_VERSION) will return "1.3". Otherwise, +it'll return "1.2". + +A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for +some time. We rely on volunteers to maintain many of the drivers. +Here's the current status of all included drivers: + +Driver Status +---------------------- --------------------- +XMesa (Xlib) implements OpenGL 1.3 +OSMesa (off-screen) implements OpenGL 1.3 +FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2) implements OpenGL 1.3 +SVGA implements OpenGL 1.3 +Wind River UGL implements OpenGL 1.3 +Windows/Win32 implements OpenGL 1.3 +DOS/DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.3 (new in Mesa 4.0.2) +GGI needs updating +BeOS needs updating +Allegro needs updating +D3D needs updating + + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +$Id: RELNOTES-4.0.2,v 1.2 2002/03/23 02:38:39 brianp Exp $ -- 2.30.2
