+The following tutorial will help you compile and install Nouveau in a user directory. This will lower your chances of messing up your whole system. Each package's instructions assume that you have the proper header files installed. If you're on a Debian-based distro (including Ubuntu), you can run `apt-get build-dep mesa` to make sure that this happens.
However, if you need to recompile xf86-video-nouveau and your distribution-provided libdrm isn't sufficient, you will need to set NVD to /usr and install libdrm, mesa and xf86-video-nouveau.
