Description Dilian 2018-04-28 15:26:41 UTC

In the past I have installed from source Mesa 17.2, later I installed from source Mesa 17.3 possibly with different ./configure options.  When I start Weston, it prints:

17:31:19.779] GL version: OpenGL ES 3.1 Mesa 17.2.8

while the latest installed mesa is 17.3.9.  Where (e.g. which lib*so file) does the above string come from?

From glxinfo:

OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.1 Mesa 18.1.0-rc1

This is the return value for glGetString(GL_VERSION). That means that your 17.2.8 library is being picked up, not the other one. [Moral of the story: use your package manager, don't fight it.]

I haven't passed i965 to --with-dri-drivers in recent builds and then the old i965 was used.
