i am trying to open an openGL program that i compiled from the source code in a tutorial (to see if everything was supported, wich it turns out it isn’t…)
i know that my hardware supports openGL up to 4.0, but glsl doesnt seem to have nearly good enought support. i get this message when trying to rune the program:
Error compiling shader type 35633: '0:2(10): error: GLSL 3.30 is not supported. Supported versions are: 1.00 ES, 1.10, 1.20, and 1.30
granted this may be caused by me not compiling correctly, as this is my first day with ubuntu(windows screwed me over one final time, so i switched :3)
any way to get better glsl support? or do i need to buy better hardware?
EDIT: or is it possible that the ubuntu system limits the version i can use when it comes to openGL and glsl? as i said, im very new to ubuntu :3
EDIT: not sure if this is helpful, but i have a Radeon HD 5700 graphics card
EDIT: it seems to me that the glsl doesnt work because i have a too old verison of opengl, so i tried to specify the version of opengl to 3.3 and got this error message:
X Error of failed request: GLXBadFBConfig
Major opcode of failed request: 154 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 34 ()
Serial number of failed request: 34
Current serial number in output stream: 33
does this mean the opengl version isnt supported? because i thought my graphics card was capable of running up to version 4.0 of opengl (might be wrong tho)
LAST EDIT: i fixed it 
i had to install the additional drivers and some stuff like that, i’m guessing i was still using windows drivers.
hopefully this post can help some poor soul in the future haha
