Just in case, with a couple of changes I did some time ago, it's 
possible to ask for ES 3.0 contexts on Desktop GL under X11 by 
leveraging the GLX_EXT_create_context_es2_profile extension. As usual 
one has to set the QSurfaceFormat renderable to the right type 
(OpenGLES instead of Default) when creating the context and the window 
surface. This may allow for a way to test ES3 compliance (depending on 
the quality of the driver), even without ES3 dedicated hardware.

HTH,
