It occurs to me that, even though the i965 driver can support OpenGL 3.1 on some hardware, glxinfo will only (ever) say 3.0. We don't support GL_ARB_compatibility, so 3.1 isn't backwards compatible with 3.0 or earlier.

Should we update glxinfo to try creating a 3.1 context if possible? So far, all future versions of OpenGL are backwards compatible with 3.1. Failing that, should it try 3.2 core, then 3.1, then 1.0 (current behavior)?

I already anticipate the bug reports of people wondering where 3.1 is when they look at glxinfo output...
