<para>To download the needed files using <application>wget</application>,
use the following commands:</para>
<screen><userinput>wget http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/sources/BLFS/svn/x/wget/driver.wget &amp;&amp;
mkdir driver &amp;&amp;

<title>Installation of Xorg Drivers</title>
<warning><para>It is very important not to build display drivers that
cannot be used with your hardware. For instance, do not build Sun drivers
for an x86 PC as the Sun drivers will expect to see SPARC symbols
exported from the kernel. Failure to follow this warning will result
in a display lockup, which requires a hard reboot, when configuring
<application>Xorg</application> for the first time.</para></warning>
<para>Install the drivers by running the following commands for each
package:</para>
<screen><userinput>./configure $XORG_CONFIG \
--with-xorg-module-dir=$XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/modules &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>
