191 <note>
192 <para>
193 The measurements above, and the Contents below, are for a full build.
194 Many people will not wish to install drivers they cannot use, so the
195 following paragraphs explain how to limit the drivers, and give an
196 example which can be be reduced or amended as necessary.
197 </para>
198 </note>
199
200 <para>
201 Now, select the drivers you wish to install. For the X86 architecture, the
202 available gallium drivers are auto, <emphasis>or alternatively a choice
203 from</emphasis> i915, nouveau, r300, r600, radeonsi, svga, swrast, and
204 virgl. The latter is recommended if you intend to run the system under
205 <xref linkend="qemu"/>. If you wish to build all available gallium drivers,
206 use 'auto'.
207 </para>
208
209 <para>
210 The (non-gallium) DRI drivers available in X86 are auto, <emphasis>or
211 alternatively a choice from</emphasis> i915, i965, nouveau, r100, r200,
212 and swrast. Use 'auto' to build all available DRI drivers, or use an
213 empty string (DRI_DRIVERS="") if you wish to only build gallium drivers.
214 </para>
215
216 <para>
217 The platforms ("window systems") available for X86 linux are x11, wayland,
218 drm, and surfaceless. By not specifying anything, the meson build-system
219 will build for all these platforms if you have the dependencies, identical
220 to if you had specified '-Dplatforms=auto'.

223 <para>
224 Modify the commands below for your desired drivers. The drivers listed
225 below will cover most modern video cards and virtual machines. For help in
226 selecting drivers see <ulink url='http://www.mesa3d.org/systems.html'/>.
227 </para>
228
229 <note>
230 <para>
231 Although the nouveau drivers can be built for both gallium and dri, the
232 i915 driver can only be built for one or the other.
