If you are talking about OpenGL compat profile, Mesa will not go beyond 3.0. You might or might not be able to convince the project to change that with patches, I am not sure what's the attitude on that.

If you are talking about D3D9, for Gallium driver (relevant ones are r600, radeonsi, nouveau), there is Gallium Nine: https://wiki.ixit.cz/d3d9

Yeah i am considering at some point to try and see what would take to add support for the compatibility profile. I do not see a reason to not have it considering that the functionality is mostly there (and AFAIK there is even an environment variable that sort-of allows the creation of compatibility profiles, it just doesn't fully work). If nothing else, not having it makes the Mesa implementation inferior to the proprietary ones.
