-<blockquote>
- <p>The <a href="http://dri.sourceforge.net/" target="_parent">DRI architecture</a>,
- originally developed by Precision Insight, Inc. uses Mesa and
- provides hardware acceleration for a number of popular chipsets.<br>
- <br>
- The DRI is part of XFree86 4.0 and later.
- <br><br>
- If you download and install XFree86 4.x you do not need to
- install Mesa separately. All the important parts of Mesa
- will be installed with the rest of XFree86.

-<li>3dfx Voodoo1, Voodoo2, Voodoo Rush, Voodoo Banshee, Voodoo3
-<blockquote>
-<p>All cards based on these chipsets should work with Linux and
-Windows 95 via 3dfx's Glide library.
-The Mesa/Glide driver is included with the Mesa distribution.
-You'll need to install the Glide header files and runtime library.
-</p>
<p>
-David Bucciarelli wrote the original 3dfx driver for Mesa.<br>
-Daryll Strauss ported Glide to Linux.
+Details about particular drivers follows.
+Be warned that some drivers may be out of date and no longer function.
