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

210 <para>
211 Modify the commands below for your desired drivers. The drivers listed
212 below will cover most modern video cards and virtual machines. For help in
213 selecting drivers see <ulink url='http://www.mesa3d.org/systems.html'/>.
214 </para>
215
216 <note>
217 <para>
218 Although the nouveau drivers can be built for both gallium and dri, the
219 i915 driver can only be built for one or the other.

223 <!-- The iris driver has been temporarily removed from the below line.
224 With mesa-20.0.5, it caused crashes and occasional system lockups.
225 Exporting MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965 was able to fix it on
226 my Skylake (i5-6600k) system, but that overrides the iris driver.
227 Let's revisit this at a later time, maybe in a few releases or when
228 the hardware is more accessible. See
