            Bug ID: 220808
           Summary: [Handbook] Section 5.4 Duplicate Instruction for "User
                    Group for Accelerated Video"
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation

In Section 5.4.1 and Section 5.4.2, the instructions for "Adding user to us=
er
group for accelerated video" appeared twice. Which one should I delete?

5.4.1. Quick Start
...
Add the user who will run Xorg to the video or wheel group to enable 3D
acceleration when available. To add user jru to whichever group is availabl=
e:

# pw groupmod video -m jru || pw groupmod wheel -m jru
...

5.4.2. User Group for Accelerated Video
Access to /dev/dri is needed to allow 3D acceleration on video cards. It is
usually simplest to add the user who will be running X to either the video =
or
wheel group. Here, pw(8) is used to add user slurms to the video group, or =
to
the wheel group if there is no video group:

# pw groupmod video -m slurms || pw groupmod wheel -m slurms
