1632 <p><a href="http://www.nvidia.com/">nVidia</a> has released some Linux binaries for
1633 xfree86 3.3.3.1, along with the <b>full source</b>, which includes GLX acceleration
1634 based on Mesa 3.0. They can be downloaded from <code>http://www.nvidia.com/Products.nsf/htmlmedia/software_drivers.html</code>.</p>

1637 <p>Beta 2 of Mesa 3.1 has been make available at <code>ftp://ftp.mesa3d.org/mesa/beta/</code>.
1638 If you are into the quake scene, you may want to try this out, as it contains some
1639 optimizations specifically in the Q3A rendering path.

1646 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1647 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1648 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1649 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1650
1651 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1652 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1653 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1654 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1655 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1656
1657 For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org.  For more
1658 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1662 This donation from John/id is very generous.  Keith and I are very
1663 grateful.
