+Explicit GL (XGL) Sample Implementation

+=======================================

+Version 0.1, 1 Sep 2014

+

+This project provides a sample implementation of an XGL driver running on 

+Intel's Haswell, IvyBridge and SandyBridge GPUs within the Linux Desktop

+Environment. This implementation is being shared with the Khronos community

+to provide early insights into the specification of XGL. It is written to

+the 0.1 version of the XGL specification, dated 1 Jul 2014. It supports a

+subset of the full specification, including:

+

+	First Triangles with hardcoded shaders

+

+This work is intended to be released as open source under a BSD-style

+license once the XGL specification is public. Until that time, this work

+is covered by the Khronos NDA governing the details of the XGL API.

+

+While this project is being developed by LunarG, Inc; there are many other

+companies and individuals making this possible: Valve Software, funding

+project development; Intel Corporation, providing full hardware specifications

+and valuable technical feedback; AMD, providing XGL spec editor contributions;

+ARM, contributing a Chairman for this working group within Khronos; Nvidia,

+providing an initial co-editor for the spec; Qualcomm for picking up the

+co-editor's chair; and Khronos, for providing hosting within GitHub.

+

+If you have questions or comments about this driver, please post those to

+gl_common@khronos.org; or if you prefer, directly to LunarG via XGL@LunarG.com
