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>in 21.2.1 this does not select
189 crocus </emphasis>), <emphasis>or alternatively a choice from</emphasis>
190 crocus, i915, iris, nouveau, r300, r600, radeonsi, svga, swrast, and virgl. The
191 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'. FIXME : does not build crocus in 21.2.1 -->
194

198

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

214 Modify the commands below for your desired drivers. The drivers listed
215 below will cover most modern video cards and virtual machines. For help in
216 selecting drivers see <ulink url="https://docs.mesa3d.org/systems.html"/>.
217 <!-- these two don't seem to be mentioned in that mesa link -->
218 For intel drivers, specify crocus for i965 gen 4 through to haswell, iris
219 for broadwell and later.

224 Although the nouveau drivers can be built for both gallium and dri, the
