1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1566 US$
10,
000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1567 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL
3D graphics library and id's
1568 newest game, Quake
3 Arena, will use Mesa as the
3D renderer on Linux.
1570 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1571 improve performance on
3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1572 applications using Mesa
3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1573 over Mesa
3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1574 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1576 For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
