See the VERSIONS +file for details. + + + +Device Drivers +-------------- + +Mesa advertises itself as supporting OpenGL 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5 +depending on the device driver's capabilities. For example, if the +driver enables all the ARB extensions which are part of OpenGL 1.5 +then glGetString(GL_VERSION) will return "1.5". Otherwise, it'll +return "1.4" or the next lower version that implements all required +functionality. + +A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for +some time. We rely on volunteers to maintain many of the drivers. +Here's the current status of all included drivers: + +Driver Status +---------------------- --------------------- +XMesa (Xlib) implements OpenGL 1.5 +OSMesa (off-screen) implements OpenGL 1.5 +FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2) implements OpenGL 1.3 +SVGA implements OpenGL 1.3 +Wind River UGL implements OpenGL 1.3 +Windows/Win32 implements OpenGL 1.5 +DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.5 +GGI implements OpenGL 1.3 +BeOS implements OpenGL 1.5 +Allegro needs updating +D3D needs updating + + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
