 543 Gallium3D is the codename for the new Mesa device driver architecture
 544 which is currently under development.
 545 </p>
 546 <p>
 547 Gallium3D development is taking place on the <em>gallium-0.1</em> branch
 548 of the git repository.
 549 Currently, there's only a software-only driver and an Intel i915/945 driver
 550 but other drivers will be coming...

1606 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1607 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1608 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1609
1610 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1611 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1612 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1613 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1614 Mesa full time for some time to come.
