What is Mesa 3D and where can I get it?
From brianp@ssec.wisc.edu (Brian Paul) The “Mesa 3-D graphics library” (or just Mesa) is a free implementation of the OpenGL API. It has been compiled and tested on most major Unix/X systems. All you should need is an ANSI C compiler and X. There is a WWW page at http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~brianp/Mesa.html You can get Mesa by anonymous ftp from iris.ssec.wisc.edu in the pub/misc/ directory. Mesa is currently in beta release. Some features are not yet implemented and you may find new bugs. See the WWW page for updated information. Pedro Vazquez (vazquez@iqm.unicamp.br) has set up a mailing list for users of the Mesa 3-D graphics library. Anyone who uses Mesa and/or wants to be kept up to date on Mesa developments is invited to subscribe. To subscribe to the list send the following message to listserv@iqm.unicamp.
