In computing, the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) is an interface and a free software implementation used in the X Window System to securely allow user applications to access the video hardware without requiring data to be passed through the X server. Its primary application is to provide hardware acceleration of the Mesa implementation of OpenGL. It has also been adapted to provide OpenGL acceleration on a framebuffer console without an X Server running. The project was started by Jens Owen and Kevin E. Martin of Precision Insight. It was first made widely available as part of XFree86 4.0 and is now part of the X.Org Server. It is currently maintained by Tungsten Graphics and others in the free software community. The 3D drivers component of the project is one of the High Priority Free Software Projects.
