173 <para>
174 <parameter>--enable-glamor</parameter>: This switch enables building
175 of the Glamor DIX module which is required by some drivers and
176 <command>Xwayland</command>. Remove it if you don't want to install
177 <application>libepoxy</application> and are not going to need
178 <command>Xwayland</command> or you don't have any hardware that
179 requires Glamor (Radeon "Southern Islands" and later GPUs). It is
180 also required to build the modesetting driver, which is a generic
181 Xorg Video driver for hardware that has a KMS driver.
