installation per BLFS instructions), apply it by running the following
command:

<para>Now, select the drivers you wish to install. The available drivers
are i915, nouveau, r300, r600, radeonsi, freedreno, svga, swrast, vc4,
and virgl. If the Gallium drivers are not specified, the default is
'r300,r600,svga,swrast'. Modify the command below for any desired drivers.
The listed drivers below will cover most modern video cards. For help in
selecting drivers see

<para>
<command>sed -i ... configure.ac</command>: This sed removes a dependency
on the <application>libpthread-stubs</application> package which is
useless on Linux.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>CFLAGS="-O2" CXXFLAGS="-O2"</parameter>: By default,
<application>Autoconf</application> sets CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to
"-g -O2". That results in binaries and libraries being built with
debugging symbols which make them bigger. Override the default
flags to omit the -g compiler flag so the final libraries are smaller.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>--enable-texture-float</parameter>: This switch enables
floating-point textures and render buffers. Please consult
<filename>docs/patents.txt</filename> to see if there are
any legal issues if you use this feature.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>--enable-osmesa</parameter>: This switch enables building
the <filename class="libraryfile">libOSMesa</filename> library.

<para>
<parameter>--enable-xa</parameter>: This switch enables building the
XA X Acceleration API (Required for VMware 3D Driver).
</para>
<para>
<parameter>--enable-gbm</parameter>: This switch enables building the
<application>Mesa</application> Graphics Buffer Manager library.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>--enable-glx-tls</parameter>: This switch enables TLS (Thread Local
Storage) support in GLX.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>--with-platforms="..."</parameter>: This parameter
controls which platforms EGL will be built for. Available
platforms are drm, x11 and wayland.

<parameter>--with-gallium-drivers="..."</parameter>: This parameter
controls which Gallium3D drivers should be built.

<para revision="sysv">
<option>--enable-sysfs</option>: Use this switch to enable simple PCI
identification method, required for building DRI on systems without udev.
