<div>== Configuration instructions 2008/07 ==<br />
Kudos to PCMan for adding detailed instructions on proper xorg.conf troubleshooting, but I'm wondering how necessary it is. If users run <tt>hwd -x</tt> to generate their configs (instead of <tt>Xorg -configure</tt>) all of the necessary items ''are'' added to xorg.conf automatically, making the bulk of the new information unnecessary.<br />
<br />
Is there a reason we don't instruct users to run <tt>hwd</tt> to generate the xorg.conf files?<br />

If you are sure hwd -x is the best way to do this, then you should change the wiki to recommend this option.<br />
I am not sure, since I'm new with linux and so forth.<br />

== EXA and Adobe Flash performance ==<br />
<br />
I noticed that enabling <br />
<pre>Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"</pre><br />
as mentioned under "Performance tuning" lead to significantly worse Flash performance. This was using extra/flashplugin 10.0.22.87-1, aur/firefox-beta 3.5rc2-1 and extra/xf86-video-ati 6.12.2-2. My card (ATI Radeon 9550) uses the RV350 chipset, hence it is a bit dated. <br />
<br />
If this isn't just a local phenomena, perhaps it should be mentioned?</div>Mtah
