10<h1>Supported Systems and Drivers</h1>
11
12<p>
13Mesa is primarily developed and used on Linux systems.
14But there's also support for Windows, other flavors of Unix and other
15systems such as Haiku.
16We're actively developing and maintaining several hardware and
17software drivers.
18</p>
19
20<p>
21The primary API is OpenGL but there's also support for OpenGL ES 1
22and ES 2, OpenVG and the EGL interface.

68In the past there were other drivers for older GPUs and operating
69systems.
70These have been removed from the Mesa source tree and distribution.
71If anyone's interested though, the code can be found in the git repo.
72The list includes:
