1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1889 US$
10,
000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1890 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL
3D graphics library and id's
1891 newest game, Quake
3 Arena, will use Mesa as the
3D renderer on Linux.
1893 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1894 improve performance on
3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1895 applications using Mesa
3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1896 over Mesa
3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1897 Mesa full time for some time to come.
