Brian Pauld01de082012-02-09 18:05:52 -0700[diff] [blame]13Mesa is primarily developed and used on Linux systems.
14But there's also support for Windows, other flavors of Unix and other
15systems such as Haiku.
16We're actively developing and maintaining several hardware and
17software drivers.

65<p>
66In the past there were other drivers for older GPUs and operating
67systems.
68These have been removed from the Mesa source tree and distribution.
69If anyone's interested though, the code can be found in the git repo.
70The list includes:
