168 | In the instructions below, all the available drivers are built. That
|
---|
169 | will almost always work. However, it is not efficient. Depending on
|
---|
170 | your video hardware, you probably need only specific drivers.
|
---|
171 | </para>
|
---|
172 |
|
---|
173 | <para>
|
---|
174 | The first thing you need to know is which type of video device you
|
---|
175 | have. In some cases it is built into the CPU. In others it is a
|
---|
176 | separate PCI card. In either case you can tell what video hardware you
|
---|
177 | have by installing <xref linkend='pciutils'/> and running:

|
---|
181 |
|
---|
182 | <para>
|
---|
183 | The video device is most likely one of three families: AMD, Intel, or
|
---|
184 | Nvidia. See the Command Explanations for
|
---|
185 | <parameter>-D gallium-drivers=auto</parameter> below to
|
---|
186 | see what options are available for your specific video hardware (or
|
---|
187 | emulated video hardware). You should probably add the softpipe or
|
---|
188 | llvmpipe option as a backup driver.
|
---|
189 | </para>
|
---|
190 |
|
---|
191 | <para>
|
---|
192 | For 'platforms' you can select x11 and/or wayland. Note that in BLFS
|
---|
193 | currently only Gnome and KDE can use wayland. If you are not going to
|
---|
194 | use one of those desktop environments then you probably only want x11.
|
---|
195 | </para>
|
---|
196 |
|
---|
197 | <para>
|
---|
198 | For 'vulkan-drivers' you may want to limit the selection to your
|
---|
199 | current hardware. These drivers are used by some specific applications.
|
---|
200 |
|
---|
201 | For example, ffmpeg (including ffplay) will use Vulkan instead of
|
---|
202 | OpenGL for rendering video on the GPU. If you do not want to do this
|
---|
203 | you may or may not want to install them.
|
---|
204 | See the Command Explanations for
|
---|
205 | <parameter>-D vulkan-drivers=auto</parameter> below to
|
---|
206 | see what options are available for your specific video hardware (or
|
---|
207 | emulated video hardware). You should probably add the swrast option
|
---|
208 | as a backup driver unless you don't need Vulkan at all.
