178 <parameter>--enable-glamor</parameter>: Build the Glamor DIX (Device
179 Independent X) module which is currently required for Southern Islands and
180 Sea Islands radeon video chipsets, optional for some other radeons, and
181 also optional for the intel driver. It is also used by the modesetting
