Tip: This page focusses on xf86 drivers. For modern drivers, refer to Graphics drivers page.
List of xf86 drivers
To see available xf86 video driver packages run:
$ apk search xf86-video
Tip: xf86 driver packages follow standard naming conventions. So information found in Arch or Gentoo wiki pages referred are to a large degree extent applicable in Alpine Linux, except for proprietary binary only drivers.
- For Sis video chipset install xf86-video-sis
