Im trying to enable fastWrites for my Nvidia GeFOrce FX 5700 LE card, on my Nforce3-250 motherboard...
some vital stats....
nvidia cdriver config file....
Code:
chris@localhost ~ $ cat /etc/modules.d/nvidia
# Nvidia drivers support
alias char-major-195 nvidia
alias /dev/nvidiactl char-major-195
# To enable Side Band Adressing: NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1
# To enable Fast Writes: NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1
# To enable both for instance, uncomment following line:
options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1
what the /proc/ filesystem has to say about FastWrites
Code:
chris@localhost ~ $ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/host-bridge
Host Bridge: PCI device 10de:00e1
Fast Writes: Supported
SBA: Supported
AGP Rates: 8x 4x
Registers: 0x1f00421b:0x00000312
chris@localhost ~ $ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/card
Fast Writes: Supported
SBA: Supported
AGP Rates: 8x 4x
Registers: 0x1f000e1b:0x1f004312
chris@localhost ~ $ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status
Status: Enabled
Driver: AGPGART
AGP Rate: 8x
Fast Writes: Enabled
SBA: Enabled
And this is part of my Xorg.conf
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "myNvidia"
#Driver "nv"
Driver "nvidia"
VideoRam 131072
#added for transparency
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "yes" #[<bool>] Improves performance
Option "AGPFastWrite" "yes" #[<bool>]
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
Seems everything SHOULD work... but this keeps poping up in my Xorg LOG.
Code:
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "AGPFastWrite" is not used
What am i missing ?
are there any other options that may conflict woth FastWrites that i have to remove ???
whats the deal ?
