-1.  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.
+This driver now accelerates bitblits and filled rectangles. It also support a
+hardware cursor.  More graphic acceleration is planned. There is no plan to
+support the audio functionality of the chip.
 
 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 DRIVER DOES NOT SUPPORT THE VIRTUAL DESKTOP FEATURES 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.

+1.2  Known Bugs
 
+   o The driver should force Weight 555 in 16 bpp mode
 
+   o The hardware cursor doesn't work if an doublescan mode is selected.
 
-				       i
+   o Screen blanking doesn't work, nor does DPMS.
