.SH CONFIGURATION DETAILS
Please refer to __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) for general configuration
details. This section only covers configuration details specific to this
driver.
.PP
The driver auto-detects the chipset type and the amount of video memory
present for all chips.
.PP
The following driver
.B Options
are supported:
.TP
.BI "Option \*qHWCursor\*q \*q" boolean \*q
Enable or disable the HW cursor. Default: on.
.TP
.BI "Option \*qAccelMethod\*q \*q" string \*q
Specify the acceleration method. One of \*qnone\*q, \*qexa\*q, or
\*qglamor\*q. Default: exa, except for GMxxx which default to glamor.
.TP
.BI "Option \*qNoAccel\*q \*q" boolean \*q
Disable or enable acceleration. Default: acceleration is enabled.
.TP
.BI "Option \*qShadowFB\*q \*q" boolean \*q
Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer. Default: off.
.TP
.BI "Option \*qWrappedFB\*q \*q" boolean \*q
Enable or disable wfb, only affects nv50+. Useful for some legacy configurations where high rendering latency is perceived. Default: wfb is disabled.
.TP
.BI "Option \*qGLXVBlank\*q \*q" boolean \*q
Synchronize GLX clients to VBlank. Useful where tearing is a problem,
harmful if the GPU isn't fast enough to keep up with the monitor
refresh rate. Default: on.
.TP
.BI "Option \*qZaphodHeads\*q \*q" string \*q
Specify the randr output(s) to use with zaphod mode for a particular driver
instance. If you use this option you most use this option for all instances
of the driver.
.br
For example:
.B
Option \*qZaphodHeads\*q \*qLVDS,VGA-0\*q
will assign xrandr outputs LVDS and VGA-0 to this instance of the driver.
.TP
.BI "Option \*qPageFlip\*q \*q" boolean \*q
Enable DRI2 page flipping. Default: on.
.TP
.BI "Option \*qSwapLimit\*q \*q" integer \*q
Set maximum allowed number of pending OpenGL double-buffer swaps for
a drawable before a client is blocked.
.br
A value of 1 corresponds to double-buffering. A value of 2 corresponds
to triple-buffering. Higher values may allow higher framerate, but also
increase lag for interactive applications, e.g., games. Nouveau currently
reliably supports a maximum value of 2 on XOrg 1.12+. A maximum setting of 2
on older x-servers is allowed, but it will break conformance with the
OpenML OML_sync_control specification and will cause failure of software
that relies on correct presentation timing behaviour as defined in that
specification.
.br
Default: 1.
