Supported Systems and Drivers

-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. +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.

-The DRI hardware drivers for the X.org server and XFree86 provide -hardware accelerated rendering for chips from ATI, Intel, and NVIDIA -on Linux and FreeBSD. +The primary API is OpenGL but there's also support for OpenGL ES 1 +and ES 2, OpenVG and the EGL interface.

-Drivers for other assorted platforms include: -the Apple Macintosh and Windows. +Hardware drivers include:

-Details about particular drivers follows: +Software drivers include: +

+Deprecated Systems and Drivers +

+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: +
