| <h1>Supported Systems and Drivers</h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| 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. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| 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. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Hardware drivers include: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Intel i965, i945, i915. |
| See <a href="https://01.org/linuxgraphics">Intel's website</a></li> |
| <li>AMD Radeon series. |
| See <a href="http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature">RadeonFeature</a></li> |
| <li>NVIDIA GPUs. |
| See <a href="http://nouveau.freedesktop.org">Nouveau Wiki</a></li> |
| <li><a href="http://www.x.org/wiki/vmware">VMware virtual GPU</a></li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p> |
| Software drivers include: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="llvmpipe.html">llvmpipe</a> - uses LLVM for x86 JIT code |
| generation and is multi-threaded |
| <li>softpipe - a reference Gallium driver |
| <li>swrast - the legacy/original Mesa software rasterizer |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p> |
| Additional driver information: |

| <h1> |
| Deprecated Systems and Drivers |
| </h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| 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: |
| </p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>3dfx/glide |
| <li>Matrox |
| <li>ATI R128 |
| <li>Savage |
| <li>VIA Unichrome |
| <li>SIS |
| <li>3Dlabs gamma |
| <li>DOS |
| <li>fbdev |
| <li>DEC/VMS |
| </ul> |
