No other drivers use the vendor in the title or path, so it seems better to not do this for the vmware-guest driver as well. So let's rename it to SVGA instead. The actual text itself makes it clear enough what it is about. This makes it stand out less in the toctree. I chose the name "WMware SVGA3D", because that's less ambigious than the "SVGA"-alternative, and was requested by VMware people.t Reviewed-by: Alyssa Rosenzweig <alyssa.rosenzweig@collabora.com> Reviewed-by: Chia-I Wu <olvaffe@gmail.com> Acked-by: Jose Fonseca <jfonseca@vmware.com> Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/11109>

Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
The Mesa project began as an open-source implementation of the
|
|
`OpenGL`_ specification - a system for rendering interactive 3D graphics.
|
|
|
|
Over the years the project has grown to implement more graphics APIs,
|
|
including `OpenGL ES`_, `OpenCL`_, `OpenMAX`_, `VDPAU`_, `VA-API`_,
|
|
`XvMC`_, `Vulkan`_ and `EGL`_.
|
|
|
|
A variety of device drivers allows the Mesa libraries to be used in many
|
|
different environments ranging from software emulation to complete
|
|
hardware acceleration for modern GPUs.
|
|
|
|
Mesa ties into several other open-source projects: the `Direct Rendering
|
|
Infrastructure`_, `X.org`_, and `Wayland`_ to provide OpenGL support on
|
|
Linux, FreeBSD, and other operating systems.
