I am trying to develop code for OpenGL 2.0, but for some reason glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version" only gives me OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 17.0.1).



I saw some answers like Making sense of glxinfo OpenGL versions saying that I should look at the OpenGL core but I don't have that info in my glxinfo output.



Full output: https://pastebin.com/Up6bwpq5



  • I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.


  • Tesla K40 (and same problem with V100 on other servers).


  • New nvidia drivers (390.46).


What am I missing?

          Note these three lines:



          OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.
          OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.9, 256 bits)
          OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 17.0.1)


          Are you sure you have the proper NVIDIA driver installed? I ask because OpenGL on your system is currently being provided with software fallback. The driver for your GPU and OS is here: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/132546/en-us

          • Your pastebin says "client glx vendor string" is "NVIDIA Corporation". If you meant the "server glx vendor string", I have "SGI" as the value as well, so that's normal.
