3. Prerequisites

You'll need the following:

• At least 400MB of free disk space. More is needed if you want to build with debugging information or keep several build trees.
• A fast system. Using a PIII-550 it takes about 1/2 hour to build everything.
• GCC compiler and related tools.
• ssh (secure shell) for registered developer downloading of the DRI source tree

For 3dfx Voodoo3 hardware, you'll also need:

• Glide3x headers and runtime library if you want to use the 3dfx driver. These can be obtained from linux.3dfx.com.
• Linux kernel 2.2.x. The DRI developers have been using stock RedHat 6.1 systems (kernel 2.2.12-20). Later kernel versions will be supported in the future.

For Matrox G200/G400 hardware, you'll also need:

• Linux kernel 2.3.51. Older kernel versions will not work.

For Intel i810 hardware, you'll also need:

• Linux kernel 2.3.99-pre6. Older kernel versions will not work.

For ATI Rage hardware, you'll also need:

• Linux kernel 2.3.51. Other kernel versions may work but this one is known to work.
