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 the advantage of the hardware that it is
|
---|
31 | running on. At least one input and one video driver is required
|
---|
32 | for Xorg Server to start.

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

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

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

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