Currently, this can error if dri.pc isn't found, as we can't then get the value of pkgconfig variable from it: include/meson.build:199:10: ERROR: 'dri' is not a pkgconfig dependency I think we need DRI_DRIVER_PATH (only) when building GLX, even if dri2/3 isn't enabled, so we know where to load swrast_dri.so from. (For autotools, configure.ac directly calls `pkg-config --variable=dridriverdir dri`, the backticks swallowing any error, causing the value of this define to be empty if dri.pc isn't present)
X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
