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

183 </note>
184

186 Now, select the drivers you wish to install. For the X86 architecture, the
187 available gallium drivers are auto, <emphasis>or alternatively a choice
188 from</emphasis> i915, nouveau, r300, r600, radeonsi, svga, swrast, and
189 virgl. The latter is recommended if you intend to run the system under
190 <xref linkend="qemu"/>. If you wish to build all available gallium drivers,
191 use 'auto'.

194 <para>
195 The (non-gallium) DRI drivers available in X86 are auto, <emphasis>or
196 alternatively a choice from</emphasis> i915, i965, nouveau, r100, r200,
197 and swrast. Use 'auto' to build all available DRI drivers, or use an
198 empty string (DRI_DRIVERS="") if you wish to only build gallium drivers.
199 </para>
200
201 <para>
202 The platforms ("window systems") available for X86 linux are x11, wayland,
203 <!--drm,--> and surfaceless. By not specifying anything, the meson
204 build-system will build for all these platforms if you have the
205 dependencies, identical to if you had specified '-Dplatforms=auto'.
