Mailing Lists

There are four Mesa 3D / DRI mailing lists:

• mesa-users - intended for end-users of Mesa and DRI drivers. Newbie questions are OK, but please try the general OpenGL resources and Mesa/DRI documentation first.


• mesa-dev - for Mesa, Gallium and DRI development discussion. Not for beginners.


• mesa-commit - relays git check-in messages (for developers). In general, people should not post to this list.


• mesa-announce - announcements of new Mesa versions are sent to this list. Very low traffic.

Follow the links above for list archives.

The old Mesa lists hosted at SourceForge are no longer in use. The archives are still available, however: mesa3d-announce, mesa3d-users, mesa3d-dev.

For mailing lists about Direct Rendering Modules (drm) in Linux/BSD kernels, see the DRI wiki.

Notice: You must subscribe to these lists in order to post to them.
