It has a collection of open-source drivers for Intel graphics, ATI, AMD and NVIDIA GPUs. Mesa is an open-source OpenGL implementation, continually updated to support the latest OpenGL specification. To find the code-name of an NVIDIA GPU, check the code-name list from the Nouveau project.To find the family of an AMD (and ATI) GPU, check the decoder ring from the X.Org project.
