1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
2707 US$
10,
000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
2708 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL
3D graphics library and id's
2709 newest game, Quake
3 Arena, will use Mesa as the
3D renderer on Linux.
2711 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
2712 improve performance on
3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
2713 applications using Mesa
3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
2714 over Mesa
3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
2715 Mesa full time for some time to come.
2717 For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
2718 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
