How to accept opengl 4.3 amd driver#
This process might piss you off but it sorta worked for me, lolġ: I got this command from a topic here "ATI Radeon Graphics Installation Problem" but now it seems that the topic is deleted?Ĥ: I closed and then RE_opened the Driver Manager from System Settings and now only have 3 options available and of those three the last one ( fglrx-updates version 2:9.012-0ubuntu1 ) is selected.
How to accept opengl 4.3 amd how to#
In case you've done the same thing and need to know how to revert to the AMD driver in the Software Manager here's how I did it: I am removing this 12.104 ( 13.4 ) AMD driver and going back to the driver ( 12.004 ) that is in the Software Manager because it worked perfectly all around including multiple OpenGL Context windows with freeGLUT.

How to accept opengl 4.3 amd upgrade#
** However after the upgrade to 12.104 ( 13.4 ) form their support site the OpenGL Shading Language was still exactly 4.20

** Note that the only reason I even tried to upgrade to this driver was to go from the12.004 OpenGL Shading Language 4.20 ( from the Software Manager ) to 4.30.8 which is what AMD's 13.4 (12.104) driver was "supposed" to upgrade us to per their support site. Also when you are writing a program to support multiple GL context windows with freeGLUT the second OpenGL context doesn't display and is completely transparent. In other words the Workspaces screen shows black backgrounds instead of the desktop wallpaper. That way you can even use the same code for both Windows and Linux.WARNING!! Don't Upgrade to AMD's 13.4 driver unless you absolutely must!Īfter upgrading to this 13.4 driver from AMd's website it appears to break multiple GL context support. (They can be linked directly under Linux.) If you want to link the newest version of OpenGL instead of getting the function pointers you'll find the newest headers on the OpenGL website: Ībout the context creation I have no clue but I would recommend to use GLFW for it, it is really not necessary to communicate with the native platform directly. Generally you just need to make sure that the header you use defines the needed functions. You don't need to load the pointers to the functions either, though it could be useful so that your application works on both Windows and Linux the same. If you link to -lGL you will dynamically link to whatever OpenGL library is installed and should be used, so under a X11-Environment with nvidia driver it will link to the NVidia specific libgl, with a ATI driver to the ATI specific libgl, the OpenGL libs of the different vendors have all a compatible ABI, so nothing is needed to be done from your side there.įor the headers you can use the Mesa headers, or any other generic OpenGL header, as said the ABI of the different libraries is compatible so you can use any headers with them. The OpenGL setup is rather straightforward under linux, in comparison to windows. I'm manually creating the window with XCreateWindow and then I'm loading the extensions with glXGetProcAddressARB so I'm not going to use GLUT or any GLUT-like library.

The question is whats the proper way of setting up openGL (with 4.3 support) for Linux? And even if the GL/glATI.h files were proper, wouldn't they fail if ran on a Nvidia card?
How to accept opengl 4.3 amd drivers#
So I installed the AMD 13.1 drivers (I have a Sapphire 7970 vapor-x 6GB) but then the openGL header files that come with it are really strange, GL/glATI.h tries to include windows.h, it doesn't define APIENTRY etc. After a little bit of research I figured out that the AMD and Nvidia drivers have support for openGL 4.3.
How to accept opengl 4.3 amd install#
So I decided to go ahead and install Ubuntu on a external HDD to take advantage of the graphics card only to later find out that mesa(9.1) can only go up to openGL 3.1. This was however in a VMware Ubuntu VM and so mesa(9.0.2 I believe) would only manage to go that far with a virtual graphics card. On Ubuntu I have managed to create a openGL 2.2 rendering context using glXCreateContextAttribsARB and the GL/gl.h provided by mesa3d. On windows I have successfully created a openGL 4.0 rendering context using wglCreateContextAttribsARB and the GL/gl.h provided by mingw. To be more precise I'm trying to make a statically linked library that compiles on the three major OS flavours (using some preprocessor macros to figure out the os its being compiled on and switch up renderer code, window creation code etc).

I don't have much experience with developing on Linux distributions. I am trying to figure out how to set up openGL on Linux based operating systems (Ubuntu 12.10) without using any *GLUT libraries.
