23
Wisconsin. He'd like to thank Bill Hibbard for letting him work on
24
Mesa as part of that project.
27
<li>John Carmack of id Software, Inc. funded Keith Whitwell in 1999 in
28
order to optimize Mesa's vertex transformation module. This is a very
29
substantial piece of work.
32
<li>Precision Insight, Inc., VA Linux Systems, Inc., and most recently,
33
Tungsten Graphics, Inc. have supported the ongoing development of Mesa.
