Others have contributed drivers -for the Amiga, Apple Macintosh, BeOS, NeXT, OS/2, MS-DOS, VMS, Windows -9x/NT, and Direct3D. -
--The following files describe the details for various platforms. -Be warned, some of these files (and drivers) may be very out of date. +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.
--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.
--- - -The DRI architecture, - originally developed by Precision Insight, Inc. uses Mesa and - provides hardware acceleration for a number of popular chipsets.
-
- The DRI is part of XFree86 4.0 and later. -
- 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. -
-- - -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. -
-David Bucciarelli wrote the original 3dfx driver for Mesa.
-
-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 +Be warned that some drivers may be out of date and no longer function.
-- -The -Utah GLX project -(no longer active) developed drivers for these chipsets and others. -
-- -Amiga systems can support 3D hardware with the Warp3D API. -See here. -
-- -www.linux3d.org for -other 3D hardware info for Linux. -
-Note: -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.
