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