That's not a program installed by default, but it is available in the AUR. I'm guessing there is no default program to do this?

@JeroenBollen It's in the mesa-demos package in extra. You can also use glewinfo if you have glew already installed.

glxinfo | awk '/OpenGL version/ {print $4}'

Install "mesa-demos" if it does not work. :)

Using a fixed column number is not going to be viable, specially over different versions. One might change the output format in different releases.
