1. XFree driver for NVidia NV1 / SGS-Thomson STG2000 v1.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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 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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o The NV1 only supports a 555 RGB Weight in 16 bpp, the hardware does not
|
||
|
|
do 565. You must put a Weight 555 in the Display section.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o 24/32 bpp mode is not yet supported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o Screen blanking doesn't work, nor does DPMS.
