| and OpenGL on Linux.</p> |
| <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration, |

| <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of |
| US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development. |
| Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's |
| newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux. |
| |
| The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to |
| improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many |
| applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase |
| over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on |
| Mesa full time for some time to come. |
| |
| For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more |
| information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com. |

| -------------------------------- |
| |
| This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very |
| grateful. |
