You'll need the following:

- At least 200MB of free disk space. If you compile for debugging (the -g option) then you'll need about 600MB.
- GCC compiler and related tools.
- ssh (secure shell) for registered developer downloading of the DRI source tree
- A recent Linux Kernel. See below for details.
- FreeBSD support is not currently being maintained and may not work.

The DRI 3D drivers generally work on systems with Intel or AMD CPUs. However, there is limited support for Alpha and PowerPC support is underway.

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

- Glide3 headers and runtime library if you want to use the 3dfx driver. These can be obtained from linux.3dfx.com.
- A recent Linux 2.4.x kernel. AGP support is not required.

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

- A recent Linux 2.4.x kernel with AGP support.

For Intel i810 hardware, you'll also need:

- A recent Linux 2.4.x kernel with AGP support.

For ATI Rage 128 and Radeon hardware, you'll also need:

- A recent Linux 2.4.x kernel with AGP support.
