1411 New:
1412 - updated SVGA Linux driver
1413 - added the MESA_FX_NO_SIGNALS env var, see docs/README.3DFX

Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +00001484<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1485US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1486Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1487newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1488
1489The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1490improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1491applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1492over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1493Mesa full time for some time to come.
1494

1496information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
