Comment (by ken@…):
If people do want to limit the drivers they build, then r600 needs to be
added to the list of drivers which cover "most modern video cards". My
ryzen3 is using a Caicos card - low power, not latest, but a quick check
suggests I could buy another one tomorrow if I wished, so it is no older
than some i915 devices.
Using
{{{
LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxgears 2>&1 | tee glxlog
}}}
I can see that it uses /usr/lib/dri/r600_dri.so. Omitting r600, I have no
r600 or radeon (except radeonsi) drivers.
If I add r600 to the gallium drivers, this reinstates
/usr/lib/libXvMCr600.so,
/usr/lib/dri/r600_dri.so, /usr/lib/dri/r600_drv_video.so and
/usr/lib/vdpau/libvdpau_r600.so.
That means that only the r200 and r300 dri drivers, and the r300 vdpau
driver are omitted.
For people who know exactly which video hardware they have, omitting
things they do no need makes some sense. But the amount of space and time
saved is tiny unless people remove other drivers - in this case, omitting
r200, r300 saved only 8MB and 0.1 SBU. with r600 also omitted, it saved
perhaps 10 MB more (totals for build and DESTDIR install).
