+The CELL_DEBUG env var can be set to a comma-separated list of one or
+more of the following debug options:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li><b>checker</b> - use a different background clear color for each SPU.
+ This lets you see which SPU is rendering which screen tiles.
+<li><b>sync</b> - wait/synchronize after each DMA transfer

+If the GALLIUM_NOCELL env var is set, the softpipe driver will be used
+intead of the Cell driver.
+This is useful for comparison/validation.
