Identifying openglES version in use with glxinfo

Hi,
I’m trying to identify the version of opengl ES that my computer currently supports (?) but I’m confused by the output of glxinfo:

[...]
Vendor: Intel Open Source Technology Center (0x8086)
    Device: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945GM  (0x27a2)
    Version: 17.0.7
    Accelerated: yes
    Video memory: 192MB
    Unified memory: yes
    Preferred profile: compat (0x2)
    Max core profile version: 0.0
    Max compat profile version: 1.4
    Max GLES1 profile version: 1.1
    Max GLES[23] profile version: 2.0
OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945GM 
OpenGL version string: 1.4 Mesa 17.0.7
[...]
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 2.0 Mesa 17.0.7
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 1.0.16
[...]

Does my graphic chip really supports OpenGL ES 2.0 while only supporting OpenGL 1.4?
Is there a place where every line of glxinfo output is explained?

From my understanding my graphic chip only has partial support of features, therefore… I’m confused :doh:

Any advice on making things clear will be apreciated!
