Enabling FastWrite & SBA
How do I go about enabling both of these features? I have done it before, but i cant seem to find the thread were it explains how to do so. I'm running a GF4 ti 4400 on slackware 9.1
root@192:/home/shawn# cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/* Fast Writes: Supported SBA: Supported AGP Rates: 4x 2x 1x Registers: 0x1f000217:0x1f000104 Host Bridge: nVidia Corporation nForce2 AGP (different version?)

There's no real point, as SBA doesn't give any measurable performance boost, and neither does fastwrites. In fact, fastwrites can cause instability on some motherboards, so it is not recommended.
But to enable them in Linux... not sure how. |
exit X by /sbin/init 3 or just init 3
or just kill the proccess. edit /etc/modules.conf and add (some cases modprobe.conf) options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1 optionsNVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 after alias char-major-195* nvidia you can also adjust bus speed with this line options NVreg_ReqAGPRate=4 (depending on card) can be 1,2,4 or 8 after that do /sbin/rmmod nvidia and /sbin/modprobe nvidia (might not be located in /sbin in your case) might just be the app name. then start x. hope this helps! |

Thanks, working fine, i was getting lost on http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Nvid...and_Addressing
I just had to edit /etc/modprobe.conf and add: Code:
alias char-major-195* nvidia Code:
# /etc/modprobe.conf (old location for Linux 2.6+ config) |
