I’ve tried to make an OpenGL 1.0 context, or to use OpenGL 1.1 in some
fashion, but OpenGL always says it’s using a 4.0 context ( from
outputting glGetString(GL_VERSION) ).
Is it possible to use OpenGL 1.0 with SDL 1.3?

The driver is indicating that while you asked for an OpenGL 1.0 context (likely not explicitly), it is exposing features of later OpenGL versions, this is a choice of the driver vendor, and I’d expect
all of these features to work despite your low context version.
OpenGL was supposed to go to a core profile (with legacy removed and new features added) and a compatibility profile (frozen at 3.0 or so) as of OpenGL 3.1 but the vendors have in general exposed
everything up to and including 4.0 even in context version 1.0, for that matter you often also see the OpenGL ES 2.0 API exposed on modern drivers even for a 1.0 context.
Are you are trying to limit your OpenGL capabilities to a specific standard? Not sure if there is a way to do that.On 12/05/2011 08:15 AM, Alex Barry wrote:
