This version of the Mesa OpenGL library renders 3D graphics using Glide3
for 3Dfx Voodoo 1 & 2 cards, thus allowing hardware accelerated OpenGL on
these 3D only cards. To start an OpenGL application on your Voodoo instead of
on your regular videocard type: "Glide3-libGL <appname> [args]".
You do NOT need this package if you have a 3Dfx Voodoo 3 or 5, the regular
mesa-libGL package supports these full (2D and 3D) video-cards through DRI
(For these 3Dfx cards you do need the regular Glide3 package though).
The Mesa 3D graphics library is a powerful and generic toolset for
creating hardware assisted computer graphics. To the extent that Mesa
utilizes the OpenGL command syntax or state machine, it is being used
with authorization from Silicon Graphics, Inc.
