Still not true. It is *not* needed for r600.

OK, I'll take you word for that.

Remove i915 driver from there. It's incomplete, and classic DRI driver
works better.

Can you provide some references?  What do you consider the classic DRI
driver?


--with-dri-drivers=... are classic DRI drivers. It has drivers for i915
(old intel hw), i965 (latest intel hw), nouveau_vieux (old nvidia hw),
r200 and radeon (ancient radeon hw) and swrast (classic swrast, supposedly
the worst of the 3).

Yes, I see that now. It looks like the current list is i915, i965, nouveau, r200, radeon, and swrast. configure --help says default-auto which should be OK for us.

But, I may have been wrong here. I confused i915 with ilo. Gallium i915 is
supposed to be more feature rich than DRI i915 (it comes from google and
is supposedly used in their chrome os - sorry, no references that I can
find).

OK.

As for r300 and r600, last generation of r600 supported hw is from 2011,
so not that old. I suggest you add it back, it doesn't add any additional
deps.

I can do that.  I did change the text to tell users to modify for their
HW, so it doesn't matter that much.

I'm still for the idea that all (x86) drivers should be built by default
and that instructions on how to remove undesired drivers should be
present. Still, it's your choice.

Making the user decide is intentional.  I think what I have now is sufficient.
