17<h1>Supported Systems and Drivers</h1>
18
19<p>
20Mesa is primarily developed and used on Linux systems.
21But there's also support for Windows, other flavors of Unix and other
22systems such as Haiku.
23We're actively developing and maintaining several hardware and
24software drivers.
25</p>
26
27<p>
28The primary API is OpenGL but there's also support for OpenGL ES 1, ES2
29and ES 3, OpenVG, OpenCL, VDPAU, XvMC and the EGL interface.

74In the past there were other drivers for older GPUs and operating
75systems.
76These have been removed from the Mesa source tree and distribution.
77If anyone's interested though, the code can be found in the git repo.
78The list includes:
