Brian Paul wrote a free open-source implementation of OpenGL called Mesa The name has no hidden meaning, it just sounds nice The original versions of Mesa only did software rendering Recent versions of Mesa have had accelerated backends for Glide, DRI, etc See Also: Open Graphics Library
A mesa is a large hill with a flat top and steep sides; used mainly of hills in the south-western United States. a hill with a flat top and steep sides, in the southwestern US (from mensa). City (pop., 2000: 396,375), south-central Arizona, U.S., located near Phoenix.

(Spanish; table) Flat-topped tableland with one or more steep sides, common in the Colorado Plateau regions of the U.S.; a butte is similar but smaller. Both are formed by erosion; during denudation, or downcutting and stripping, areas of harder rock in a plateau act as flat protective caps for portions of underlying land situated between such places as stream valleys, where erosion is especially active. This results in a table mountain (mesa) or fortress hill

National park, southwestern Colorado, U.S. It was established in 1906 to preserve prehistoric Indian cliff dwellings. Occupying a high tableland area of 52,085 acres (21,078 hectares), it contains hundreds of pueblo ruins up to 13 centuries old. The most striking are multistoried apartments built under overhanging cliffs. Cliff Palace, the largest, was excavated in 1909 and contains hundreds of rooms, including kivas, the circular ceremonial chambers of the Pueblo Indians
