<p>
|
|
Mesa was originally designed for Unix/X11 systems and is still best
|
|
supported on those systems. All you need is an ANSI C compiler and the
|
|
X development environment to use Mesa.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Others have contributed drivers
|
|
for the Amiga, Apple Macintosh, BeOS, NeXT, OS/2, MS-DOS, VMS, Windows
|
|
9x/NT, and Direct3D.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The following files describe the details for various platforms.
|
|
Be warned, some of these files (and drivers) may be very out of date.

The standard Mesa distribution only supports software-based rendering, with
|
|
the exception of the 3Dfx Glide driver.
|
|
Information about other hardware support follows.

|
<li>DRI-based hardware support for 3dfx, Intel, Matrox, ATI with XFree86
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>The <a href="http://dri.sourceforge.net/" target="_parent">DRI architecture</a>,
|
|
originally developed by Precision Insight, Inc. uses Mesa and
|
|
provides hardware acceleration for a number of popular chipsets.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The DRI is part of XFree86 4.0 and later.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
If you download and install XFree86 4.x you do not need to
|
|
install Mesa separately. All the important parts of Mesa
|
|
will be installed with the rest of XFree86.

|
<li>3dfx Voodoo1, Voodoo2, Voodoo Rush, Voodoo Banshee, Voodoo3
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>All cards based on these chipsets should work with Linux and
|
|
Windows 95 via 3dfx's Glide library.
|
|
The Mesa/Glide driver is included with the Mesa distribution.
|
|
You'll need to install the Glide header files and runtime library.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
David Bucciarelli wrote the original 3dfx driver for Mesa.<br>
|
|
Daryll Strauss ported Glide to Linux.

<li>Matrox G200/G400, nVidia RIVA, ATI Rage Pro, Intel i810 on Linux

<blockquote>
|
|
<p>The <a href="http://utah-glx.sourceforge.net/" target="_parent">
|
|
Utah GLX project</a>
|
|
(no longer active) developed drivers for these chipsets and others.

<li>Amiga Warp3D
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>Amiga systems can support 3D hardware with the Warp3D API.

|
See <a href="http://www.haage-partner.com/3dworld" target="_parent">here</a>.

<b><em>Note:</em></b>
|
|
If you have NVIDIA hardware in your computer,
|
|
you should download and install NVIDIA's OpenGL library. You may
|
|
however, want to download Mesa in order to use its GLU and GLUT
|
|
libraries, or assorted demo programs.</p>
