S3 Virge Mesa Driver for Windows 95
Version 1.00.01
1. This driver is based on S3D toolkit, native API for the S3 virge family.
The latest S3D drivers are available at http://www.s3.com
2. Files
S3 Mesa
- s3mesa.c
- s3wgl.c
- s3mesa.h
- s3mesa.def
- s3mesa.rc(resource file that contains version number)
- s3res.h

3. Known bugs and limitations
1. Tested only with 2 OpenGL 3d productivity applications that will
be shipping soon. Ran some standard OpenGL samples too.
2. Known to work on following Virge family accelerators
- Virge/GX2
- Virge/MX(Mobile)
- Virge/DX/GX
Did not yet test on Virge and Virge/VX. Should work though.
3. No support 8-bpp mode.
4. 24-bpp support is in there but hangs the system.
16-bpp is the safest mode right now.
5. Does not work with glQuake due to following reasons:
- No hardware support for some alpha blending modes GLQuake
requires.
- Texture swapping in the s3mesa driver is buggy. Working on it
- Not all GL calls are implemented in the driver layer.
Working on it.
4. Make information
1. Go to the Mesa src directory: cd src
2. Use VC++ 5.0 nmake: nmake /f s3mesa.mak
5. Contact
rkoduri@s3.com or pcgamedev@s3.com for any questions and updates
to the drivers
6. Misc
Use these at your own freedom and risk. S3 cannot guarantee future
support for these drivers. The S3 Mesa source code is free for
public use and will only be governed by Mesa rules.
