64Gallium3D is the codename for the new Mesa device driver architecture
65which is currently under development.
66A <a href="http://www.tungstengraphics.com/wiki/index.php/Gallium3D"
67target="_parent"> summary</a> of the architecture can be found on the
68Tungsten Graphics website.

70<p>
71Gallium3D development is taking place on the <em>gallium-0.1</em> branch
72of the git repository.
73Currently, there's only a software-only driver and an Intel i915/945 driver
74but other drivers will be coming...

1148<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1149US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1150Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1151newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1152
1153The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1154improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1155applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1156over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1157Mesa full time for some time to come.
1158
