Brian Pauld01de082012-02-09 18:05:52 -0700[diff] [blame]20Mesa is primarily developed and used on Linux systems.
21But there's also support for Windows, other flavors of Unix and other
22systems such as Haiku.
23We're actively developing and maintaining several hardware and
24software drivers.

75In the past there were other drivers for older GPUs and operating
76systems.
77These have been removed from the Mesa source tree and distribution.
78If anyone's interested though, the code can be found in the git repo.
79The list includes:
