-<H1>Supported Systems and Drivers</H1>
+<p>
+Mesa is primarily developed and used on Linux systems.
+But there's also support for Windows, other flavors of Unix and other
+systems such as Haiku.
+We're actively developing and maintaining several hardware and
+software drivers.
+</p>
<p>
-Mesa was originally designed for Unix/X11 systems and is still best
-supported on those systems. All you need is an ANSI C compiler and the
-X development environment to use Mesa.
+The primary API is OpenGL but there's also support for OpenGL ES 1, ES2
+and ES 3, OpenVG, OpenCL, VDPAU, XvMC and the EGL interface.
</p>
<p>
-The DRI hardware drivers for the X.org server and XFree86 provide
-hardware accelerated rendering for chips from ATI, Intel, Matrox, 3dfx
-and others on Linux and FreeBSD.
+Hardware drivers include:
</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Intel i965, i945, i915.
+ See <a href="https://01.org/linuxgraphics">Intel's website</a></li>
+ <li>AMD Radeon series.
+ See <a href="https://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature">RadeonFeature</a></li>
+ <li>NVIDIA GPUs.
+ See <a href="https://nouveau.freedesktop.org">Nouveau Wiki</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://www.x.org/wiki/vmware">VMware virtual GPU</a></li>
+</ul>
<p>
-Drivers for other assorted platforms include:
-the Amiga, Apple Macintosh, BeOS, NeXT, OS/2, MS-DOS, VMS, Windows
-9x/NT, and Direct3D.
+Software drivers include:
</p>
+<ul>
+<li><a href="llvmpipe.html">llvmpipe</a> - uses LLVM for x86 JIT code
+ generation and is multi-threaded
+<li>softpipe - a reference Gallium driver
+<li>swrast - the legacy/original Mesa software rasterizer
+</ul>

+Deprecated Systems and Drivers
+</h1>
<p>
-These drivers have not been maintained and are being deprecated.
-They can be saved if someone steps up to help.
+In the past there were other drivers for older GPUs and operating
+systems.
+These have been removed from the Mesa source tree and distribution.
+If anyone's interested though, the code can be found in the git repo.
+The list includes:
