Note that some tests may fail depending on the video hardware installed in the machine. Now, as the root user: make install Command Explanations --enable-nouveau-experimental-api: This parameter enables use of nouveau's experimental kernel API (required for the default configuration of MesaLib). : This parameter enables use of vmwgfx's experimental kernel api.
