== '/dev/nvidia0' Input/Output error... suggested fixes ==<br />
<br />
Can anyone verify that the BIOS related suggestions work and are not coincidentally set (either automatically when changing the IRQ or turning off ACPI) while troubleshooting? I have found little information that confirms any of the suggestions would work. The file permissions thing seems to be completely unfounded and never works (as noted in the article) that I could find. It would probably be a good idea if we cleaned out items that have not been verified to work. For my setup I was having this error and none of the items in the wiki nor the many file permission search results worked. -- [[User:Clickthem|click, them so hard]] 19:16, 4 March 2012 (EST)<br />

== Run a test ==<br />
<br />
There is confusing paragraph saying ''You can run a test to see if the Xorg server will function correctly without a configuration file.''. IMHO, it should be clarified what kind of test the author has in mind, an exact command would be helpful. Currently, this suggestion is simply confusing, especially to less experienced users. --[[User:Mloskot|Mloskot]] ([[User talk:Mloskot|talk]]) 19:52, 26 November 2012 (UTC)<br />

== nvidia-xconfig ==<br />
<br />
Several of the commands which are suggested to be run with nvidia-xconfig (such as nvidia-xconfig --twinview) don't work with the current nvidia packages in the repository. I just went through setting mine up so I intend to clean up the ones that I can from my experience. Some don't seem to have a 1:1 replacement (there is a --dynamic-twinview argument now; is that the same as --twinview was?). [[User:Techprophet|Teh]] ([[User talk:Techprophet|talk]]) 13:10, 20 June 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
While it shouldn't be necessary to use xconfig to get nvidia working on X, creating a 20-nvidia.conf file is an integral step to fix screen tearing for people that suffer from that issue. Perhaps this section should have this explained and include a link to the nvidia troubleshooting article which contains the section about fixing screen tearing? --[[User:TheChickenMan|TheChickenMan]] ([[User talk:TheChickenMan|talk]]) 21:54, 22 December 2016 (UTC)<br />

:Troubleshooting sections link to the main documentation, not vice versa. Otherwise there would be no point in having separate troubleshooting sections. -- [[User:Lahwaacz|Lahwaacz]] ([[User talk:Lahwaacz|talk]]) 22:03, 22 December 2016 (UTC)<br />

== Accuracy of driver selection ==<br />
<br />
[https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=189859 A thread on the forums] revealed that nvidia is more conservative in their suggestion than needed and checking their website tells you to use an older driver (nvidia-340xx) while the latest 'nvidia' one will do just fine. [https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1475567#p1475567 Gusar suggested] the removal of the second point in [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA#Installation the 'Installing' section]. Do we want to get rid of this potentially useful, although somewhat confusing info? -- [[User:Karol|Karol]] ([[User talk:Karol|talk]]) 02:52, 15 November 2014 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Well, I've [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=NVIDIA&diff=344863&oldid=344745 rewritten] the second point to make it clearer, I hope I got it correctly. However steps 2 and 3 there should probably merged into one, because they deal with the same problem, i.e. finding the correct driver to install. Maybe we could use a table? (just brainstorming). -- [[User:Kynikos|Kynikos]] ([[User talk:Kynikos|talk]]) 03:47, 16 November 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Compositing ==<br />
<br />
I think it could be helpful for anyone that's still using X server to be guided on setting up compositing.<br />
<br />
One way to update the Xorg.conf file to enable composition is to use the nvidia command line tool:<br />
# nvidia-xconfig --composite<br />
<br />
The other is to edit the file manually, as per the example below adding the Composite Option to the Extensions section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf:<br />
<br />
Section "Extensions"<br />
Option "Composite" "Enable"<br />
EndSection<br />
<br />
For those running KDE, to check if compositing is enabled they can run the following command, compositing information is at the end of the output:<br />
$ qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation<br />

== thoughts / suggestions on networking nitty gritty section ==<br />
<br />
I followed the beginner's guide to installing Arch and setting up rc.conf. I have also installed 'dnsmasq'. When following the QEMU/KVM how-to I was unable to get my bridge interface to see the dhcp server of my modem until I amended my rc.conf to include and bring up the loopback interface i.e. <br />
<pre>lo="lo up"<br />
eth0="eth0 up"<br />
br0="dhcp"<br />
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 br0)<br />
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"<br />
ROUTES=(gateway)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
As this is not part of the beginners rc.conf it might help others that have got stuck with this part to read this and maybe considered, if correct, a useful addition to the how-to. It would be good to get confirmation from those-that-know if this is the best foot forward, so to speak.<br />
