Platforms and Drivers
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Mesa is primarily developed and used on Linux systems. But there's also
|
|
support for Windows, other flavors of Unix and other systems such as
|
|
Haiku. We're actively developing and maintaining several hardware and
|
|
software drivers.
|
|
|
|
The primary API is OpenGL but there's also support for OpenGL ES, Vulkan,
|
|
EGL, OpenMAX, OpenCL, VDPAU, VA-API and XvMC.
|
|
|
|
Hardware drivers include:
|
|
|
|
- Intel GMA, HD Graphics, Iris. See `Intel's
|
|
Website <https://01.org/linuxgraphics>`__
|
|
- AMD Radeon series. See
|
|
`RadeonFeature <https://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature>`__
|
|
- NVIDIA GPUs (GeForce 5 / FX and later). See `Nouveau
|
|
Wiki <https://nouveau.freedesktop.org>`__
|
|
- Qualcomm Adreno A2xx-A6xx. See :doc:`Freedreno
|
|
<drivers/freedreno>`
|
|
- Broadcom VideoCore 4 and 5. See :doc:`VC4 <drivers/vc4>` and
|
|
:doc:`V3D <drivers/v3d>`
|
|
- ARM Mali Utgard. See :doc:`Lima <drivers/lima>`
|
|
- ARM Mali Midgard, Bifrost. See :doc:`Panfrost <drivers/panfrost>`
|
|
- Vivante GCxxx. See `Etnaviv
|
|
Wiki <https://github.com/laanwj/etna_viv/wiki>`__
|
|
- NVIDIA Tegra (K1 and later).
|
|
|
|
Layered driver include:
|
|
|
|
- :doc:`D3D12 <drivers/d3d12>` - driver providing OpenGL on top of
|
|
Microsoft's Direct3D 12 API.
|
|
- :doc:`SVGA3D <drivers/svga3d>` - driver for VMware virtual GPU
|
|
- `VirGL <drivers/virgl>` - project for accelerated graphics for
|
|
QEMU guests
|
|
- :doc:`Zink <drivers/zink>` - driver providing OpenGL on top of
|
|
Khoronos' Vulkan API.
|
|
|
|
Software drivers include:
|
|
|
|
- :doc:`LLVMpipe <drivers/llvmpipe>` - uses LLVM for JIT code generation
|
|
and is multi-threaded
|
|
- Softpipe - a reference Gallium driver
|
|
|
|

Deprecated Systems and Drivers
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In the past there were other drivers for older GPUs and operating
|
|
systems. These have been removed from the Mesa source tree and
|
|
distribution. If anyone's interested though, the code can be found in
|
|
the Git repo. The list includes:

- 3dfx Glide
|
|
- 3DLABS Gamma
|
|
- ATI Mach 64
|
|
- ATI Rage 128
|
|
- ATI Radeon 7000 - 9250
|
|
- DEC OpenVMS
|
|
- Intel i810
|
|
- Intel i830 - i865
|
|
- Linux fbdev
|
|
- Matrox
|
|
- MS-DOS
