Public bug reported: The Mesa project requires a kernel change to support OpenGL 3.0 on Intel's gen7 (Ivy Bridge) hardware.
To reproduce the issue, run: $ glxinfo| grep "OpenGL version" This result is the failing case: OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 8.0.2 This result is the successful case: OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 8.0.2 To resolve the issue, the kernel commit ae662d31264979e52581bd2573bf0b82812f52ab "drm/i915: Add support for resetting the SO write pointers on gen7." should be cherry-picked. (This commit is available in the kernel mainline.) I have tested this with git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-precise.git The commit cherry picks cleanly, and resolves the issue. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: gen7 intel ivybridge mesa opengl precise -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1037293 Title: Intel gen7 graphics OpenGL 3.0 support on 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1037293/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
