1945 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL
3D graphics library and id's
1946 newest game, Quake
3 Arena, will use Mesa as the
3D renderer on Linux.
1948 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1949 improve performance on
3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1950 applications using Mesa
3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1951 over Mesa
3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1952 Mesa full time for some time to come.
