      Too late for what? RadeonSI has OGL 4.1, and no driver has 4.2 yet.

            Great news! I hope openSUSE 42.1 ship with Mesa 11 and Kernel 4.2 ^_^

              Yeah that's what I was thinking. Almost feels like r600 support is being phased out, not anytime soon I suspect. There are still tons of people (like me) who have 6000 series cards and absolutely love using Mesa but things like this makes us sad. =p

                If you mean r600, then say so. radeon is a kernel driver, and it's been the one used by both r600 and radeonsi (for the longest time).

                Hmm I wonder how long the amortization in terms of cost and electricity bill would be for upgrading a TeraScale-based card to the equivalently fast GCN card would be. (I have a Cayman card in my beefier desktop, which is terrible value still. Sadly my Tahiti LE card doesn't even boot ... a shame that Tahiti is so far behind the other GCN cores)

                  Uh, according to GL3.txt, Mesa already supports OpenGL 4.2, not just 4.1. And all but one extension for 4.3 are being worked on already.

                    "Mesa" may "support" 4.2 in an abstract sense, but since there aren't any actual drivers that support 4.2, that doesn't really mean anything.

                    And all but one extension for 4.3 are being worked on already.
                    Which means nothing to the 11.0 branch.
