XFree86 driver for NVidia NV1 / SGS-Thomson STG2000 and Riva128 + +This driver supports good acceleration for both the NV1/STG2000 as well as the +Riva128. It is known to work on PCI and AGP versions of the Riva128. + +1.1 Notes + + o On the NV1/STG2000, the driver does not support the virtual desktop fea- + tures of xfree86. This is because the NV1 does not have the necessary + hardware to support this feature. If you want to change resolutions, you + will have to modify your config file. Comment out all but the mode you + wish to use. + + o The generic VGA16 server will not work with the NV1. For this reason + XF86Setup cannot be used to configure the server. Use xf86config instead. + Select `Diamond Edge 3D' as your board, and select only ONE mode for each + of 8bpp and 16bpp. Do not select a virtual desktop. Also, make sure you + don't select a RAMDAC or clock chip. This does not apply if you own a + Riva128 card, as the VGA16 server works just fine on that. + + o Both the NV1 and the Riva128 only support a 555 RGB Weight in 16 bpp, the + hardware does not do 565. If you run into problems with some window man- + agers in 16bpp, try putting a Weight 555 in the Display section. + + o 24 bpp is not supported. + + o In some modes the hardware cursor gets out of sync with the display. Use + Option "sw_cursor" to work around this problem. + + o There are modelines that confuse the Riva128 chip. This results in a + greenish display. Slightly modifying the modeline usually fixes the prob- + lem. In most cases all that is needed is to reduce the HTotal. You can use + xvidtune to do that. + + o The dotclock limits for this driver seem to be lower than the hardware + specs (and drivers for other graphical user interfaces) seem to indicate. + If you get a flickery screen with flashes, try to limit the modes you use + to about 160MHz in 16bpp and about 100MHz in 32bpp. + + Generated from XFree86: xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/doc/sgml/NV1.sgml,v 3.2.2.3 1998/02/26 20:11:27 hohndel Exp $ + + + + + + +Information for NVidia NV1 / SGS-Thomson STG2000 and Riva128 Users + + + + + +Information for NVidia NV1 / SGS-Thomson STG2000 and Riva128 Users + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + CONTENTS + + + +1.
