## Summary

Everything pretty much works out of the box, follow standard documentation for details.

## UEFI

### Disabling UEFI Secure Boot

To disable Secure Boot, set the supervisor password in the BIOS settings. Then you should be able to boot Arch.

## VGA/HDMI Output

VGA out works fine out of the box. Since the NVIDIA chip is wired to the HDMI out, you can get this working using Bumblebee with xf86-video-intel-virtual-crtc and hybrid-screenclone. See Bumblebee FAQ

## Issues

### NVIDIA breakage

The recent kernel updates broke the NVIDIA driver for some people. Adding `rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay=1` to kernel parameters seems to fix it. For example, if you use GRUB:

    # nano /etc/default/grub

    ...
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay=1"
    ...

Then regenerate your `grub.cfg` and reboot to apply changes.

    # grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

This may have been fixed in the 337 driver series, needs further testing.

### PulseAudio upmixing

If you do not have 4.0 sound sources, you may want to make PulseAudio automatically upmix 2.0 to 4.0. To do this, add `default-sample-channels=4` to `~/.config/pulse/daemon.conf` (create the file if needed).

## Note

Most of this should also apply to the Acer Aspire V7-582PG and Acer Aspire V7-582G - those are higher tier models of the same, confirmed to be the same motherboard. Touchscreen wasn't tested on those.
