28 | The <application>Xorg Drivers</application> page contains the
|
---|
29 | instructions for building Xorg drivers that are necessary in order
|
---|
30 | for Xorg Server to take advantage of the hardware that it is
|
---|
31 | running on. At least one input and one video driver are required
|
---|
32 | for Xorg Server to start.

35 | <para>
|

36 | On machines using KMS, the modesetting driver is provided by
|
---|
37 | <application>xorg-server</application> and can be used instead of the
|
---|
38 | video driver for the specific hardware, but with reduced performance.
|
---|
39 | It can also be used (without hardware acceleration) in virtual machines
|
---|
40 | running under <application>qemu</application>.

45 | If you are unsure which video hardware you have, you can use
|
---|
46 | <command>lspci</command> from <xref linkend="pciutils"/>
|
---|
47 | to find out which video hardware you have and then look at
|
---|
48 | the descriptions of the packages in order to find out
|
---|
49 | which driver you need.

55 | In addition to the drivers listed below, there are several other

56 | drivers for very old hardware that may still be relevant.
|

57 | Instructions for building these now unmaintained drivers may be found in a
