However, we do not recommend using any later version than this one if you are going to build using BLFS instructions. Install libdrm by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=$XORG_PREFIX \ --enable-udev \ --enable-vmwgfx-experimental-api \ --enable-nouveau-experimental-api && make To check the results, issue make check. Note that some tests may fail depending on the video hardware installed in the machine. Now, as the root user: make install --enable-nouveau-experimental-api: This parameter enables building of Nouveau (Open Source NVidia drivers) DRM interface library as well as corresponding headers. --enable-vmwgfx-experimental-api: This parameter enables use of vmwgfx experimental kernel API used by the VMware 3D Gallium driver. --enable-omap-experimental-api: This option enables use of OMAP's experimental kernel API. OMAP is a series of system-on-chips (SoCs) developed by Texas Instruments.
