170 <note>
171 <para>
172 The measurements above, and the Contents below, are for a full build.
173 Many people will not wish to install drivers they cannot use, so the
174 following paragraphs explain how to limit the drivers, and give an
175 example which can be be reduced or amended as necessary.
176 </para>
177 </note>
178
179 <para>
180 Now, select the drivers you wish to install. For the X86 architecture, the
181 available gallium drivers are auto, <emphasis>or alternatively a choice
182 from</emphasis> i915, nouveau, r300, r600, radeonsi, svga, swrast, and
183 virgl. The latter is recommended if you intend to run the system under
184 <xref linkend="qemu"/>. If you wish to build all available gallium drivers,
185 use 'auto'.
186 </para>
187
188 <para>
189 The (non-gallium) DRI drivers available in X86 are auto, <emphasis>or
190 alternatively a choice from</emphasis> i915, i965, nouveau, r100, r200,
191 and swrast. Use 'auto' to build all available DRI drivers, or use an
192 empty string (DRI_DRIVERS="") if you wish to only build gallium drivers.
193 </para>
194
195 <para>
196 The platforms ("window systems") available for X86 linux are x11, wayland,
197 drm, and surfaceless. By not specifying anything, the meson build-system
198 will build for all these platforms if you have the dependencies, identical
199 to if you had specified '-Dplatforms=auto'.

203 Modify the commands below for your desired drivers. The drivers listed
