179 The measurements above, and the Contents below, are for a full build.
180 Many people will not wish to install drivers they cannot use, so the
181 following paragraphs explain how to limit the drivers, and give an
182 example which can be be reduced or amended as necessary.

187 Now, select the drivers you wish to install. For the X86 architecture, the
188 available gallium drivers are auto (<emphasis>in 21.2.1 this does not select
189 crocus </emphasis>), <emphasis>or alternatively a choice from</emphasis>
190 crocus, i915, iris, nouveau, r300, r600, radeonsi, svga, swrast, and virgl.
191 The latter can provide acceleration in <xref linkend="qemu"/> if that has

206 alternatively a choice from</emphasis> i915, i965, nouveau, r100, r200,
207 and swrast. Use 'auto' to build all available DRI drivers, or use an
208 empty string (DRI_DRIVERS="") if you wish to only build gallium drivers.
209 </para>
210
211 <para>
212 The platforms ("window systems") available for X86 linux are x11, wayland,
213 <!--drm,--> and surfaceless. By not specifying anything, the meson
214 build-system will build for all these platforms if you have the
215 dependencies, identical to if you had specified '-Dplatforms=auto'.

219 Modify the commands below for your desired drivers. The drivers listed
220 below will cover most modern video cards and virtual machines. For help in
221 selecting drivers see <ulink url="https://docs.mesa3d.org/systems.html"/>.
222 <!-- these two don't seem to be mentioned in that mesa link -->
223 For intel drivers, specify crocus for i965 gen 4 through to haswell, iris
224 for broadwell and later.
