| The `xorg` metapackage pulls in the `xf86-video-nouveau` video driver. This will | ||
| need to be manually installed if using `xorg-minimal`. You can also use the | ||
| universal `modesetting` driver bundled with Xorg (this is the only option on | ||
| Tegra based ARM boards). |

Mesa's NVK driver is getting better and more popular. Time to add instructions in the handbook for it. Went ahead and divided the nouveau section into subsections like the other driver pages.
Note that the section divisions are unnecessary for the proprietary driver because it unifies all of the APIs into one package.
