Mesa is primarily developed and used on Linux systems.
21
But there's also support for Windows, other flavors of Unix and other
22
systems such as Haiku.
23
We're actively developing and maintaining several hardware and
24
software drivers.

The primary API is OpenGL but there's also support for OpenGL ES 1, ES2
29
and ES 3, OpenVG, OpenCL, VDPAU, XvMC and the EGL interface.

        75
        In the past there were other drivers for older GPUs and operating
        76
        systems.
        77
        These have been removed from the Mesa source tree and distribution.
        78
        If anyone's interested though, the code can be found in the git repo.
