Many improvements in many drivers are available. Ĥth Version 17.3 is ready since December 2017. Only 1.4% of Tests fail for OpenGL 4.5 in Nouveau for Kepler. ģrd Version 17.2 is available since September 2017 with some new OpenGL 4.6 features and velocity improvements in 3D for Intel and AMD. Many problems and open points are in pipe for a clean and basic implementation. Īn open question for Mesa and Linux is High Dynamic Range (HDR). For example, in July 2016, Mesa supported OpenGL ES 3.1 but also all OpenGL ES 3.2 extensions except for five, as well as a number of extensions not part of any OpenGL or OpenGL ES version.

Note that due to the modularized nature of OpenGL, Mesa can actually support extensions from newer versions of OpenGL without claiming full support for such versions. OpenGL 4.2+ for Intel Ivy Bridge and OpenGL 3.3+ for Intel Open SWR Rasterizer are 2 of the highlights. Ģnd stable version of 2017, 17.1.0, came out on with some interesting improvements.

The Khronos CTS test suite for OpenGL 4.4, 4.5 and OpenGL ES 3.0+ is in now () Open Source and all tests for Mesa 13 and 17 are now possible without costs. Maxwell-2-Cards (GeForce GTX 980 and more with GM2xx) are underclocked without NVidia information. Huge performance gain was measured with Maxwell 1 (GeForce GTX 750 Ti and more with GM1xx). Ready features are certified OpenGL 4.5, OpenGL 4.5 for Intel Haswell, OpenGL 4.3 for NVidia Maxwell and Pascal (GM107+). ġst stable version of 2017 is 17.0 (new year Counting). OpenGL ES 3.2 is possible with Intel Skylake (Gen9).

Mesa 13 brought Intel support for OpenGL 4.4 and 4.5 (all Features supported for Intel Gen 8+, Radeon GCN, Nvidia (Fermi, Kepler), but no Khronos-Test for 4.5-Label) and experimental AMD Vulkan 1.0 support through the community driver RADV. Mesa 12 contains OpenGL 4.2 and 4.3 and Intel Vulkan 1.0 support.

Mesa 11 was announced with some drivers being OpenGL 4.1 compliant. Mesa 10 complies with OpenGL 3.3 for Intel, AMD/ATI, and Nvidia GPU hardware. Mesa maintains a support matrix with the status of the current OpenGL conformance visualized at mesamatrix.

This is especially true for the "classic" drivers, while the Gallium3D drivers share common code that tend to homogenize the supported extensions and versions. The supported version of the different graphic APIs depends on the driver, because each hardware driver has its own implementation (and therefore status). Mesa implements a translation layer between a graphics API such as OpenGL and the graphics hardware drivers in the operating system kernel. Mesa is also not specific to Unix-like operating systems: on Windows for example, Mesa provides an OpenGL API over DirectX. But Mesa can implement other APIs and indeed it did with Glide (deprecated) and Direct3D 9 since July 2013. Historically the main API that Mesa has implemented is OpenGL, along with other Khronos Group related specifications (like OpenVG, OpenGL ES or recently EGL). Mesa is known as housing implementations of graphic APIs. On the GDC 2014, AMD was exploring a strategy change towards using DRM instead of their in-kernel blob. The special library called libwayland-EGL, written to accommodate access to the framebuffer, should have been made obsolete by the EGL 1.5 release. The free implementations of Wayland rely upon the Mesa implementation of EGL. For Linux, development has also been partially driven by crowdfunding. Mesa was subsequently widely adopted and now contains numerous contributions from various individuals and corporations worldwide, including from the graphics hardware manufacturers of the Khronos Group that administer the OpenGL specification. Mesa is hosted by and was initiated in August 1993 by Brian Paul, who is still active in the project. An open-source effort to write a Mesa Nvidia driver called Nouveau is mostly developed by the community.īesides 3D applications such as games, modern display servers ( X.org's Glamor or Wayland's Weston) use OpenGL/ EGL therefore all graphics typically go through Mesa. Proprietary graphics drivers (e.g., Nvidia GeForce driver and Catalyst) replace all of Mesa, providing their own implementation of a graphics API. Its most important users are two graphics drivers mostly developed and funded by Intel and AMD for their respective hardware (AMD promotes their Mesa drivers Radeon and RadeonSI over the deprecated AMD Catalyst, and Intel has only supported the Mesa driver). Mesa translates these specifications to vendor-specific graphics hardware drivers.

Mesa, also called Mesa3D and The Mesa 3D Graphics Library, is an open-source software implementation of OpenGL, Vulkan, and other graphics API specifications. Cross-platform ( BSDs, Haiku, Linux, etc.)
