Description
This is an implementation of the Mesa 3-D library and GLX. GLX was developed
by SGI to integrate OpenGL with X11. This allows the Mesa 3-D library to
perform its 3-D rendering functions within the X server's process, rather than
within the X client program. This offers potential performance benefits,
because the rendered image does not have to be moved from the X client program
to the X server. (Only the commands required to render the image are sent.)
It also makes 3-D hardware acceleration much more practical (and fast). This
package includes a hardware accelerated driver for video cards based on the
Matrox G200 and G400, Intel i810, Riva TNT, ATI Mach64 and S3 Virge chipsets.
The Mesa 3-D graphics library is a powerful and generic toolset for creating
hardware assisted computer graphics. To the extent that Mesa utilizes the
OpenGL command syntax or state machine, it is being used with authorization
from Silicon Graphics, Inc. However, the author (Brian Paul) makes no claim
that Mesa is in any way a compatible replacement for OpenGL or associated with
Silicon Graphics, Inc. Those who want a licensed implementation of OpenGL
should contact a licensed vendor. However, Mesa is very similar to OpenGL, and
you might find Mesa to be a valid alternative to OpenGL.
This package is based on Mesa CVS-20000116.
