| Brian Paul | d01de08 | 2012-02-09 18:05:52 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 12 | Mesa is primarily developed and used on Linux systems. |
| 13 | But there's also support for Windows, other flavors of Unix and other |
| 14 | systems such as Haiku. |
| 15 | We're actively developing and maintaining several hardware and |
| 16 | software drivers. |

| 21 | and ES 2, OpenVG and the EGL interface. |

| 65 | In the past there were other drivers for older GPUs and operating |
| 66 | systems. |
| 67 | These have been removed from the Mesa source tree and distribution. |
| 68 | If anyone's interested though, the code can be found in the git repo. |
| 69 | The list includes: |
