Utah GLX was a project aimed at creating a fully free and open-source basic hardware-accelerated 3D renderer using the OpenGL rendering API on Linux kernel-based operating systems. Utah GLX predates Direct Rendering Infrastructure, which is what is used as of 2014.

John D. Carmack worked on Utah GLX.^[1]

History[edit]

• 
  2D drivers inside of the X server
• 
  Indirect rendering over GLX, using Utah GLX
• 
  early Direct Rendering Infrastructure
• 
  Finally all access goes through the Direct Rendering Manager
• 
  In Linux kernel 3.12 render nodes were merged and the KMS driver was split off. Wayland implements direct rendering over EGL/GBM
