[Mesa-users] Strangely low OpenGL

Hello! I have Radeon HD5730 supporting up to OpenGL 4.4. ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units#Mobility_Radeon_HD_5xxx_Series 
). Its driver is r600:

	$ grep r600 /var/log/Xorg.0.log 
	[    86.840] (II) RADEON(0): [DRI2]   DRI driver: r600
	[    86.840] (II) RADEON(0): [DRI2]   VDPAU driver: r600
	[    86.938] (II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized r600

According to news I saw and the https://mesamatrix.net/ , the driver fully 
supports OpenGL 4.1. But why do I see OpenGL 3.3? I.e.:

	$ glxinfo | grep version
	server glx version string: 1.4
	client glx version string: 1.4
	GLX version: 1.4
	OpenGL core profile version string: 3.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 11.3.0-devel 
(git-329d115 2016-05-26 trusty-oibaf-ppa)
	OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 3.30
	OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 11.3.0-devel (git-329d115 2016-05-26 
trusty-oibaf-ppa)
	OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
	OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.0 Mesa 11.3.0-devel 
(git-329d115 2016-05-26 trusty-oibaf-ppa)
	OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.00

OpenGL-4.1 were hit by r600 in December 2015, and the build I'm using — you 
can see the date — is 26 May 2016. Although the Mesa package I'm using is 
neither from distro, nor compiled by me, I really doubt that compiling by 
myself would change anything in this case (right?).
