184 Independent X) module which is currently required for Southern Islands and
185 Sea Islands radeon video chipsets, optional for some other radeons, and
186 also optional for the intel driver. It is also used by the modesetting

188 offers acceleration.

192 <parameter>--enable-install-setuid</parameter>: The Xorg binary must run
193 as the root user. This switch ensures that the binary is installed
194 setuid when <command>make</command> is run by an unprivileged user.
195 </para>
196

213 without having the systemd PAM module installed and set up.
