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

187 <para>
188 Now, select the drivers you wish to install. For the X86 architecture, the
189 available gallium drivers are auto (<emphasis>in 21.2.1 this does not select
190 crocus </emphasis>), <emphasis>or alternatively a choice from</emphasis>
191 crocus, i915, nouveau, r300, r600, radeonsi, svga, swrast, and virgl. The
192 latter is recommended if you intend to run the system under

198 The (non-gallium) DRI drivers available in X86 are auto, <emphasis>or
199 alternatively a choice from</emphasis> i915, i965, nouveau, r100, r200,
200 and swrast. Use 'auto' to build all available DRI drivers, or use an

203
204 <para>
205 The platforms ("window systems") available for X86 linux are x11, wayland,
206 <!--drm,--> and surfaceless. By not specifying anything, the meson
207 build-system will build for all these platforms if you have the
208 dependencies, identical to if you had specified '-Dplatforms=auto'.

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

215 <!-- these two don't seem to be mentioned in that mesa link -->
216 For intel drivers, specify crocus for i965 gen 4 through to haswell, iris
217 for broadwell and later.
