<H1>Supported Systems and Drivers</H1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
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.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
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.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Drivers for other assorted platforms include:
|
||||
the Apple Macintosh and Windows.
|
||||
Hardware drivers include:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Intel i965, i945, i915.

|
||||
<li>AMD Radeon series
|
||||
<li>Some NVIDIA GPus.
|
||||
<li>VMware virtual GPU
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|

<p>
|

Details about particular drivers follows:

||||
Software drivers include:

</p>
|

<ul>
|
||||
<li><a href="llvmpipe.html">llvmpipe</a> - uses LLVM for x86 JIT code
|
||||
generation and is multi-threaded
|
||||
<li>softpipe - a reference Gallium driver
|
||||
<li>swrast - the legacy/original Mesa software rasterizer
|
||||
</ul>

Deprecated Systems and Drivers

|

|

<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:
