+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.
+
+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.
