10,
000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1908 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL
3D graphics library and id's
1909 newest game, Quake
3 Arena, will use Mesa as the
3D renderer on Linux.
1911 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1912 improve performance on
3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1913 applications using Mesa
3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1914 over Mesa
3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1915 Mesa full time for some time to come.
