## Configuration

### Booting Arch Linux from USB

To disable Secure Boot, set the [supervisor password](https://acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29349/) in the BIOS settings. Then you should be able to boot Arch.

If you set up your installation media (USB drive) via [Rufusi](/index.php/USB_flash_installation_media#Using_Rufus "USB flash installation media") had the most success by using *GPT* as partition table (in UEFI mode).

### Video

Install the xf86-video-intel package as shown [here](/index.php/Intel_graphics#Installation "Intel graphics")

### Solid State Drive

For tips visit [SSD](/index.php/SSD "SSD").

### Touchpad

Set the touchpad to basic in the BIOS to get it working. Then enable it by pressing *FN + F7*.
