1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1334 US$
10,
000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1335 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL
3D graphics library and id's
1336 newest game, Quake
3 Arena, will use Mesa as the
3D renderer on Linux.
1338 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1339 improve performance on
3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1340 applications using Mesa
3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1341 over Mesa
3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1342 Mesa full time for some time to come.
