[SOLVED]Mesa 12 -> OpenGL 4.1 ??

Hi,

I just updated my system to mesa 12 in hope to get OpenGL 4.3, but:

glxinfo | grep OpenGL                                        :(
OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD PITCAIRN (DRM 2.43.0 / 4.6.4-1-ARCH, LLVM 3.8.0)
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.1 (Core Profile) Mesa 12.0.1
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.10
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile
OpenGL core profile extensions:
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 12.0.1
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL context flags: (none)
OpenGL extensions:
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.0 Mesa 12.0.1
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.00
OpenGL ES profile extensions:

Am I the only one? Is it normal?

I have a Radeon R270X.

LLVM 3.9 (not yet released) is needed for OpenGL 4.2 and kernel 4.7 (also not yet released) for compute shaders. Until those are released, 4.1 is all you get.

To get a full 4.3 you'll need LLVM 3.9 which is a bit aways.  If you absolutely need it now (and really think about that) then you can use this repository for MESA-git:
