OpenGL Verstion
OpenGL Verstion
Hello, I have moved from MS directX to OpenGL on Linux Debian. My computer is running Jessie version with Gimp. I am trying to use several of the gl 4.0 functions but getting compiler error. I check for OpenGL version and appears to be version 1.5 but I can not believe my eyes. How can I verify the correct openGL version and how can I upgrade to a moder version of at least 4.0?

Re: OpenGL Verstion
thx, looks like openGL version is 3.0. I will explore how to upgrade the version to 4.0 or 4.5. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Re: OpenGL Verstion
The open source Mesa drivers are at OpenGL 3.3 maximum (I think?)
They are working at 4.0 support, but don't hold your breath.
I think the proprietary drivers for Nvidia and ATI cards support the latest 4.x branch.
The Debian Wiki will tell you how to install those.
