<0> Primer (or someone else): if I want to find what xorg.conf-options the graphics card will accept, where should I look?
<1> the readme
<2> /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/
<2> (usually)
<3> Hello, I am having problem: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=83728
<3> Don't know if it's faulty hardware, a bug in drivers, or a bug in cube mapping implementation
<1> I would suspect drivers first
<1> try downgrading
<3> I try that to latest 8000 version
<4> hi all
<4> where do you report driver bugs for nvidia ?
<5> hey
<5> I have a question
<5> is it possible with a dual head graphics card to have two separate local terminals?
<5> one pc, two monitors, two mice, two keyboards
<6> hello everybody
<6> happy early mornging in usa
<6> does anybody know abou the quantum physics engine that nvidia is making or has made?
<6> i guess you're all sleeping :)
<6> cool music with HL2 characters

<7> hi, would you use twinview or xinerama for dualscreen?
<7> what are the advantages of each?
<8> twinview is more efficient
<8> some programs have issues with the 'xinerama' information advertised by nvidia's twinview
<8> there shouldn't be real differences in the end
<9> hello. I have the nvidia geforce 6200 with the freebsd drivers installed, i'm getting 1500+ FPS. I'm trying to play doom3 but it tells me WARNING: vertex array range in virtual memory (SLOW)
<8> make sure that your nvidia drivers are correctly installed (glxgears doesn't say anything about the working; you can get a similar score with a decent cpu and a crappy card)
<8> and make sure that doom3 is using the correct linux compat lib (I have no freebsd experience)
<8> or perhaps it gives this warning because the card doesn't have much video memory and for that reason it had to store vertex arrays in system memory
<8> using AGP
<9> The card has 512MBddr its PCI-e
<9> and the drivers are properly installed, I even configured it with the nvidia-settings tool
<9> as far as the linux compat lib, I acutally had to deinstall my old port to install the correct one
<9> are there any iddues with Turbocache?
<9> issues*
<10> Hi, is there a way to modify the GPU's bios in linux?
<10> Im going to try enabling some extra pipelines in my 6800..
<10> And wondering if I have to install windows to do it..
<11> hey folks, what do I add to enable dual head?
<8> xopher: look for nvclock
<8> you need 0.8 beta2 of it
<8> you don't have to modify the bios of the card
<11> i mean, what do I add in xorg.conf to enable dual head
<11> do I just enable twinview and connect the other monitor
<10> Thunderbird so nvclock is able to do the same thing? cool
<10> and thanks a lot. You saved me from countless hours of windoze madness
<10> cause I'd have needed to get a new hdd etc for it :) the windowsPE 'live cd' didnt recognize my graphics card, and guess what, booting after installing the drivers is kinda a no-go so ;) hehe
<11> Thunderbird, can you help me please?
<8> just use nvidia-settings for setting up twinview and let it output an xorg.conf
<11> k
<11> am I correct that twinview are separate screens?
<8> in twinview you will have one large desktop
<11> that didn't happen to me
<11> but it did using xinerama
<8> then you didn't set up twinview
<11> so maybe, something was wrong then
<11> :
<11> :(
<8> you can have: twinview, seperate X screens, xinerama (seperate X screens + xinerama option)
<11> check this out, http://pastebin.ca/307956
<8> that's not the way you set it up, twinview is set up in a totally different way then xinerama / seperate X screens
<11> k
<8> just let nvidia-xconfig or nvidia-settings create something for you and see how they do it
<8> it is the easiest way for me as I'm quite busy
<11> k
<11> with separate x screens, can we tell the app to go to that monitor?
<11> i guess this would help me
<11> what is it called if I want 2 independent monitors, but still allows me to use mouse on both?
<8> that last mode is seperate X screens but you can't move windows between the displays
<8> that's only possible in twinview and xinerama
<11> yes, I don't want windows to move to other screens
<11> i'm going to run nvidia-settings now to see it
<11> so I should click configure button beside Separate X screens right?
<11> hmmm, maybe I forgot to connect the other monitor
<11> ThunderBird, separate X screens are now working. What could be the DISPLAY variable on the other screen?
<8> :0.1
<11> wow
<11> look at this
<11> [mythtv@localhost root]$ glxinfo|grep direct
<11> direct rendering: Yes
<11> :)
<11> before, I only got 1
<11> do you think it will use a different xvideo or are xvideo separate?
<11> what could be some reason why screen is shaking a bit
<11> like 3 pixel up and down
<12> hi all. anybody tell me if a 250W psu is enough for a eVGA Nvidia GeForce FX 5500 AGP card? I am having terrible performance issues running Doom3 on a 1.8Ghz P4 with 1.5Gb of pc800 RDRAM.
<8> that PSU can be enough
<12> to make doom3 run smoothly? It is currently only running at 5-20 fps, with latest drivers
<11> Thunderbird, I'm planning to buy a new card for playing HD. Is FX5200 enough for it? The guys told me that's the CPU that does the decoding
<8> as long as you can connect your TV to it, it would be fine
<8> it won't have component out support
<8> but if your TV uses DVI it could be enough
<11> oh
<11> i also have a dvi to vga converter
<11> will it also be fine for 1080p h264 files
<11> most of the cards that I see now are PCIe :(
<11> are there cards that are more than 128-bit in memory interface?
<8> for budget cards 128bit is the max in general, some even use 64bit or less
<8> more expensive cards can have a 256bit bus or even wider for the geforce8800
<13> good afternoon
<14> hi
<14> i have a problem concerning nvidia-settings
<14> i want to read-out the core and ambient temperature of my card
<13> i have a problem with detecting my card
<14> but nvidia-settings initialized gtk even before displaying its commandline help
<13> i guess nobody else is awake
<14> bad
<14> perhaps blis*** is a guru
<13> is that what you are blis***
<15> litb: it is usually an impolite idea to address specific people for help...
<15> litb: just ask a question to the channel and I'll see if I can help :-0
<14> [21:20] <14> hi
<14> [21:20] <14> i have a problem concerning nvidia-settings
<14> [21:21] <14> i want to read-out the core and ambient temperature of my card
<14> [21:21] <13> i have a problem with detecting my card
<14> [21:21] <14> but nvidia-settings initialized gtk even before displaying its
<14> :P
<14> *its commandline help
<13> question. i have an hp laptop and hardware detection isnt detecting my graphics card,,,,not the go gforce 6150, just the chipset
<14> isn'T that a 'bug' in nvidia-settings ?
<15> litb: not all cards have temp sensors. Only fairly expensive ones do. My 6800LE does not for example.
<15> litb: also, you can often use 'lm_sensors' to read the temp sensors of NVIDIA cards.
<14> Blis***: yes?
<14> Blis***: how? i thought there isn'T a driver for that
<15> vals: that is a statements, not q question.
<13> blis***,,,is that supposed to be that way? how am i supposed to configure the graphics card
<14> what is the driver called for lm_sensors and the nvidia?
<15> litb: depends on your MB really. For my ancient socket 754 one I get:
<15> k8temp-i2c-0-290
<15> Adapter: NVIDIA I2C Device
<15> and nothing else, as the card does not have a sensor, even if it has the relevant I2C bus where it would be.
<14> i have i2c_nforce , probably that is it. but how can the motherboard measure the temp. of the graphiccard?
<15> vals: well, it is not clear what your problem is.
<15> vals: at least to me.
<15> litb: the MB chipset must have a link/bus to the sensor...
<13> well i cant change graphics settings cause its only detecting the mcp51 chipset,,,not the gforce 1650
<15> vals: what is not detecting the GF6150?
<13> installation in linux,,,,i have tried several distros and none of them has correctly identified the gf6150
<15> vals: then perhaps that particular chipset is not common and is not recognized.
<15> vals: perhaps you should install in text mode and then configure X separately either by hand or 'X -configure' or one of the many other autoconfigurators.
<15> vals: or perhaps you have disabled it.
<13> its on zillions of hp laptops. and the chipset i think is like 2 years old,, no
<13> disabled what?
<13> do i need different bios settings in linux than i do in windoze?
<15> vals: not really. Have you done a web search? e.g. getting this page: http://hpwiki.cactii.net/hpwiki/Presario_V3***
<15> vals: anyhow try to install by forcing the driver type firs to VESA, and then try to reconfigure once installed.
<13> ive done some searches, maybe i was looking for the wrong thing
<13> yes thats what i have done,,,i installed the vesa driver first,,,,now im trying to get the nvidia driver up and running
<15> vals: so what is the problem again?
