1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1849 US$
10,
000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1850 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL
3D graphics library and id's
1851 newest game, Quake
3 Arena, will use Mesa as the
3D renderer on Linux.
1853 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1854 improve performance on
3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1855 applications using Mesa
3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1856 over Mesa
3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1857 Mesa full time for some time to come.
