At least one input and one video driver are required for Xorg Server to start. On machines using KMS, the modesetting driver is provided by xorg-server and can be used instead of the video driver for the specific hardware, but with reduced performance. It can also be used (without hardware acceleration) in virtual machines running under qemu. If you are unsure which video hardware you have, you can use lspci from to find out which video hardware you have and then look at the descriptions of the packages in order to find out which driver you need. In addition to the drivers listed below, there are several other drivers for very old hardware that may still be relevant. Instructions for building these now unmaintained drivers may be found in a prior version of BLFS: &BLFS76; Xorg Input Drivers Xorg Video Drivers Hardware Video Acceleration
