Obtenir gratuitement XFCE4 avec Nouveau sur les graphiques nvidia

Introducion:

As some nvidia cards are falling back to legacy, it is needed to get open source nouveau drivers work in a most best tearfree performance. Following the issue by some users here at the forum (including my thinkpad T410 and a nvidia GeForce GT710) It is not possible to get XFCE4 started from lightdm (LoginManager) with the driver package xf86-video-nouveau installed. I just use the modesetting driver from kernel. I do find this solution to get the best out of the situation:

The Solution:

sudo pacman -R xf86-video-nouveau sudo nano /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

Add nouveau to the modules:

# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# Les modules suivants sont chargés avant l’amorçage des hooks de démarrage.
# courir.  Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array.  For instance:
#     MODULES=(piix ide_disk reiserfs)
MODULES="nouveau"

Rebuild images:

sudo mkinitcpio -p linux depending on the kernel you are using may you need to replace linux with linux-lts... sudo pacman -S compton

Turn off xfwm4's compositing feature:

xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/use_compositing -s false

Put compton to autostart:

nano ~/.config/autostart/compton.desktop
