NVidia
NVidia is a vendor for graphics cards.
Setup NVidia GPU
For NVidia GPUs to work install the nvidia and the nvidia-utils package.
If you want to easily configure the monitors as described in a later section of
this file you can also install nvidia-settings.
There is no initial setup in for of a xorg.conf in /etc/X11 needed
(except for a multiple GPU/APU setup).
Configuration
A basic configuration can be achieved by running nvidia-xconfig.
Usage
Most configuration and changes require the use of nvidia-settings.
Change monitor configuration
In nvidia-setting monitors can be dragged and dropped to your liking.
After that you have to save the configuration to the
X window manager configuration file
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Avoid screen tearing
In nvidia-settings under
X Server Display Configuration select your display and click on Advanced
and select either Force Composition Timeline or
Force Full Composition Timeline.
