Mesa 6.5.3 was the first version to support OpenGL 2.0 and 2.1 with 
GLSL 1.10.

Mesa 7.3 was the first version to support GLSL 1.20

In any case, I'd recommend using the latest Mesa release.  You're less 
likely to run into bugs.  In particular, the new GLSL compiler is much 
better than the old one.

I think all the GPUs that support fragment shaders advertise OpenGL 
2.1.  Older GPUs probably advertise OpenGL 1.5.
