[SOLVED] Nvidia setting confusion.

I am a bit confused on a setting.

From reading the wiki it says.

For a dramatic 2D graphics performance increase in pixmap-intensive applications, e.g. Firefox, set the InitialPixmapPlacement parameter to 2:

$ nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2

It then says

This is documented in nvidia-settings source code. For this setting to persist, this command needs to be run on every startup or added to your ~/.nvidia-settings-rc.

The link it sends me to has this

#define NV_CTRL_INITIAL_PIXMAP_PLACEMENT                         238 /* RW- */

Do I put

define NV_CTRL_INITIAL_PIXMAP_PLACEMENT                         2 /* RW- */

in ~/.nvidia-settings-rc? I am a bit confused on what to put in to get this setting to apply after each reboot.

Something like this

nvidia-settings -a GlyphCache=1
nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2

in your .xinitrc should do the trick.

That looks to have done the trick, thank you!.
