The driver supports full 2D +acceleration and provides support for the following framebuffer depths: +8, 15, 16 (except Riva128) and 24. All +visual types are supported for depth 8, TrueColor and DirectColor +visuals are supported for the other depths with the exception of +the Riva128 which only supports TrueColor in the higher depths. + +.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE +The +.B nv +driver supports PCI and AGP video cards based on the following NVIDIA chips: +.TP 22 +.B RIVA 128 +NV3 +.TP 22 +.B RIVA TNT +NV4 +.TP 22 +.B RIVA TNT2 +NV5 +.TP 22 +.B GeForce 256, QUADRO +NV10 +.TP 22 +.B GeForce2, QUADRO2 +NV11 & NV15 +.TP 22 +.B GeForce3, QUADRO DCC +NV20 +.TP 22 +.B nForce, nForce2 +NV1A, NV1F +.TP 22 +.B GeForce4, QUADRO4 +NV17, NV18, NV25, NV28 +.TP 22 +.B GeForce FX, QUADRO FX +NV30 +.SH CONFIGURATION DETAILS +Please refer to XF86Config(__filemansuffix__) for general configuration +details.

See fbdevhw(__drivermansuffix__) for further information. +Default: off. +.TP +.BI "Option \*qCrtcNumber\*q \*q" integer \*q +nForce2, Quadro4, GeForce4 and NV30 may have two video outputs. +The driver attempts to autodetect +which one the monitor is connected to. In the case that autodetection picks +the wrong one, this option may be used to force usage of a particular output. +The options are "0" or "1". +Default: autodetected. +.TP +.BI "Option \*qFlatPanel\*q \*q" boolean \*q +The driver usually cannot autodetect the presence of a flat panel so +this option should be set when used with a flat panel. With this driver +a flat panel will only work if it was POSTed by the BIOS, that is, the +machine must have booted to the panel. +Default: off. +.TP +.BI "Option \*qFPDither\*q \*q" boolean \*q +Most digital flat panels have only 6 bits per component color resolution. +This option tells the driver to dither from 8 bits per component to 6 before +the flat panel truncates it. This is only suported in depth 24 on NV11, +nForce2, GeForce4, Quadro4 and NV30. +Default: off. +.TP +.BI "Option \*qRotate\*q \*qCW\*q" +.TP +.BI "Option \*qRotate\*q \*qCCW\*q" +Rotate the display clockwise or counterclockwise. This mode is unaccelerated. +Default: no rotation. + +Note: Option Rotate does not work unless the Resize and Rotate extension has +been turned off. +.TP +.BI "Option \*qShadowFB\*q \*q" boolean \*q +Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer.
