1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1172 US$
10,
000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1173 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL
3D graphics library and id's
1174 newest game, Quake
3 Arena, will use Mesa as the
3D renderer on Linux.
1176 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1177 improve performance on
3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1178 applications using Mesa
3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1179 over Mesa
3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1180 Mesa full time for some time to come.
