R600 Gallium3D Can Now Do OpenGL 3.0, GLSL 1.30

[BlackStar]

Btw, the Opera browser team has been working on OpenGL acceleration for at least two years now, but they still don't have it enabled by default. Their software renderer is still faster, more stable and consumes less resources than the hardware accelerated renderer.

GPU acceleration is not some magic cure-all solution - especially when you have to go through something as unstable as OpenGL.

I have some problems:
Using OpenSUSE 12.1 x86_64.

death@triQuad:~/Desktop>uname -a
Linux triQuad.site 3.3.0-16-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Mar 19 10:17:31 UTC 2012 (7e199aa) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

death@triQuad:~/Desktop> R600_GLSL130=1 R600_STREAMOUT=1 glxinfo | grep Open
OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD BARTS
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 8.1-devel (git-5ac910c)
OpenGL extensions:

Using latest Mesa Master and compiled with:

./configure --enable-gallium-g3dvl --with-gallium-drivers=r600 --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-{vdpau,xvmc} --enable-texture-float --with-dri-drivers=""

Why I still have OpenGL 2.1?

[Death Knight]

Issue is: There are old drivers on /usr/local/lib64/dri directory. Removed them and worked...

[whizse]

You already solved your problem, but setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose is a good way to track down issues like these.

[Death Knight]

I already solved with using it

Does anyone know if there is a regression over OpenGL 3.0?
Because latest drivers gives me OpenGL 2.1 string on glxinfo, even if I use R600_GLSL130=1 flag...
Also cannot find anything problematic with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose but "libGL: Can't open configuration file /home/death/.drirc: No such file or directory." error message.

OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD RS780
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 8.1-devel (git-b2d6386)

???

«GL3 requires MSAA which is not yet supported. GL3 was mistakenly enabled
without it initially. Dave has a branch with initial support which will be
merged when ready:

Thanks for the info.

I could be wrong, but I think you also need GLX_ARB_create_context support. This was left out of X.Org Server 1.12, but will be included in X.Org Server 1.13.

Unstable, he says... I've found, based on my past experience with DX10 while working at AMD (yes...) that neither is particularly stable when your drivers have issues and the API allows you to do stupid things with shaders and the like (and can be done on EITHER API, mind...).
