-The standard Mesa distribution only supports software-based rendering, with
-the exception of the 3Dfx Glide driver.
-Information about other hardware support follows.
+Drivers for other assorted platforms include:
+the Amiga, Apple Macintosh, BeOS, NeXT, OS/2, MS-DOS, VMS, Windows
+9x/NT, and Direct3D.
</p>
-<ul>
-<li>DRI-based hardware support for 3dfx, Intel, Matrox, ATI with XFree86
-<blockquote>
- <p>The <a href="http://dri.sourceforge.net/" target="_parent">DRI architecture</a>,
- originally developed by Precision Insight, Inc. uses Mesa and
- provides hardware acceleration for a number of popular chipsets.<br>
- <br>
- The DRI is part of XFree86 4.0 and later.
- <br><br>
- If you download and install XFree86 4.x you do not need to
- install Mesa separately. All the important parts of Mesa
- will be installed with the rest of XFree86.
-</blockquote>
-
-
-<li>3dfx Voodoo1, Voodoo2, Voodoo Rush, Voodoo Banshee, Voodoo3
-<blockquote>
-<p>All cards based on these chipsets should work with Linux and
-Windows 95 via 3dfx's Glide library.
-The Mesa/Glide driver is included with the Mesa distribution.
-You'll need to install the Glide header files and runtime library.
-</p>
<p>
-David Bucciarelli wrote the original 3dfx driver for Mesa.<br>
-Daryll Strauss ported Glide to Linux.
+Details about particular drivers follows.
+Be warned that some drivers may be out of date and no longer function.
</p>
-</blockquote>
-
-
-<li>Matrox G200/G400, nVidia RIVA, ATI Rage Pro, Intel i810 on Linux
-<blockquote>
-<p>The <a href="http://utah-glx.sourceforge.net/" target="_parent">
-Utah GLX project</a>
-(no longer active) developed drivers for these chipsets and others.
-</blockquote>
-
-<li>Amiga Warp3D
-<blockquote>
-<p>Amiga systems can support 3D hardware with the Warp3D API.
-See <a href="http://www.haage-partner.com/3dworld" target="_parent">here</a>.

-If you have NVIDIA hardware in your computer,
-you should download and install NVIDIA's OpenGL library. You may
-however, want to download Mesa in order to use its GLU and GLUT
-libraries, or assorted demo programs.</p>
