So, open source Linux drivers won't have OpenGL 3.0 or 3.1 for at
least some months :).  I don't know the internals of the graphics
subsystem, but AFAIK the open source drivers use Mesa to
implement the OpenGL frontend, and the current version 7.5rc3
doesn't support it yet.

FWIW, I'm using the Intel driver, version 2.7.1.
