| <h1>Platforms 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> |
| 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> |
| Hardware drivers include: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Intel GMA, HD Graphics, Iris. |

| <h2> |
| Deprecated Systems and Drivers |
| </h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| 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: |
| </p> |

| <ul> |
| <li>3dfx/glide |
| <li>Matrox |
| <li>ATI R128 |
| <li>Savage |
| <li>VIA Unichrome |
| <li>SIS |
| <li>3Dlabs gamma |
| <li>DOS |
| <li>fbdev |
| <li>DEC/VMS |
| <li>Mach64 |
| <li>Intel i810 |
