	~~These are my personal xfce4 desktop notes.~~

	~~Remaining differences to [[Xfce_Setup]] (need to be checked):~~

	~~== Base system ==~~

	~~# apk add slim (had no graphical shutdown/suspend support)~~



	~~# add user to specific groups (had no elogind support)~~
	~~## adduser (username) audio~~
	~~## adduser (username) video~~
	~~## adduser (username) dialout~~


	~~# Add /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-intel.conf to have tear free scrolling:~~
	~~<pre>~~
	~~Section "Device"~~
	~~Identifier "Intel Graphics"~~
	~~Driver "intel"~~
	~~Option "TearFree" "true"~~
	~~EndSection~~
	~~</pre>~~




	~~== Setting up Alsa audio ==~~

	~~# apk add alsa-utils~~
	~~# rc-update add alsa~~
	~~# rc-service alsa start~~
	~~# Set the default sound device~~
	~~## List sound devices: <code>cat /proc/asound/card*/id</code>~~
	~~## Depending on your setup select the proper device~~
	~~### create a /etc/asound.conf with following content where PCH is sound card name.~~
	~~<pre>~~
	~~pcm.!default {~~
	~~type plug~~
	~~slave.pcm {~~
	~~@func getenv~~
	~~vars [ ALSAPCM ]~~
	~~default "hw:PCH"~~
	}
	}
	~~</pre>~~

	~~== Tweaks ==~~

	~~Enable webgl on chromium when running on hardened kernel:~~

	~~Edit: <code>/boot/extlinux.conf</code>~~

	~~Add: <code>grsec_sysfs_restrict=0</code> to the end of the of the APPEND line.~~

	~~Don't forget to add it to your update-extlinux.conf~~
