178 <para>
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.
183 </para>
184 </note>
185
186 <para>
187 Now, select the drivers you wish to install. For the X86 architecture, the
188 available gallium drivers are auto, <emphasis>or alternatively a choice
189 from</emphasis> i915, nouveau, r300, r600, radeonsi, svga, swrast, and
190 virgl. The latter is recommended if you intend to run the system under
191 <xref linkend="qemu"/>. If you wish to build all available gallium drivers,
192 use 'auto'.
193 </para>
194
195 <para>
196 The (non-gallium) DRI drivers available in X86 are auto, <emphasis>or
197 alternatively a choice from</emphasis> i915, i965, nouveau, r100, r200,
198 and swrast. Use 'auto' to build all available DRI drivers, or use an
199 empty string (DRI_DRIVERS="") if you wish to only build gallium drivers.
200 </para>
201
202 <para>
203 The platforms ("window systems") available for X86 linux are x11, wayland,
204 <!--drm,--> and surfaceless. By not specifying anything, the meson
205 build-system will build for all these platforms if you have the
206 dependencies, identical to if you had specified '-Dplatforms=auto'.
