17ec681f3SmrgPlatforms and Drivers 27ec681f3Smrg===================== 37ec681f3Smrg 47ec681f3SmrgMesa is primarily developed and used on Linux systems. But there's also 57ec681f3Smrgsupport for Windows, other flavors of Unix and other systems such as 67ec681f3SmrgHaiku. We're actively developing and maintaining several hardware and 77ec681f3Smrgsoftware drivers. 87ec681f3Smrg 97ec681f3SmrgThe primary API is OpenGL but there's also support for OpenGL ES, Vulkan, 107ec681f3SmrgEGL, OpenMAX, OpenCL, VDPAU, VA-API and XvMC. 117ec681f3Smrg 127ec681f3SmrgHardware drivers include: 137ec681f3Smrg 147ec681f3Smrg- Intel GMA, HD Graphics, Iris.

These have been removed from the Mesa source tree and 607ec681f3Smrgdistribution. If anyone's interested though, the code can be found in 617ec681f3Smrgthe Git repo.
