Mesa is a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to that of OpenGL*. The primary Mesa ftp site is iris.ssec.wisc.edu in the pub/Mesa directory. Mesa is also mirrored on sunsite in the directory pub/packages/development /graphics/mesa. As of version 2.3, Mesa is distributed in two pieces: main library code and demos. If you're upgrading from a previous version of Mesa or you're not interested in the demos you can just download the core Mesa archive file.
