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 1, ES2
|
|
and ES 3, OpenVG, OpenCL, VDPAU, XvMC and the EGL interface.
|
|
|
|
Hardware drivers include:
|
|
|

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
|
|
- Matrox
|
|
- ATI R128
|
|
- Savage
|
|
- VIA Unichrome
|
|
- SIS
|
|
- 3Dlabs gamma
|
|
- DOS
|
|
- fbdev
|
|
- DEC/VMS
