nvagp or agpgart? Which is better when using the nvidia driver?
Linux Gamers' FAQThis usually boils down to a question of stability. In the early days of the nvidia driver, nvagp was more stable, but sometimes slower. Also, some times nvagp didn't support a particular chipset, so it was either agpgart or nothing. Nowadays, it's commonly presumed that agpgart is a bit faster than nvagp, but nvagp is more stable. This is really something of a gamble, and depends on your hardware. Try agpgart first. If it works, great! If your box proves to be unstable with it, use nvagp.

The nvidia driver has really slow 2D! What can I do?
Linux Gamers' FAQX makes use of Memory Type Range Register (AKA "mtrr", check out /usr/src/linux/Documentation/mtrr.txt for more info). To see if you have mtrr enabled in the kernel, do: cat /proc/mtrr. If you don't have that file, you don't have mtrr. Re-compile your kernel with this option enabled. It's in "Processor Type and Feature" in the kernel config. You want this feature. There is a known issue with version 1-0.4191 of the nvidia drivers where 2D is just slow. It is not related to mtrr.

Which is better, driver X or driver Y?
The Subwoofer DIY Page - Box-Building FAQA common question, and difficult to answer correctly without some real-world experience with the drivers in question. T/S parameter analysis can give a fairly good idea of each driver's capability, so probably the best approach would be use a software design tool (like the spreadsheets available on this site) to determine how each driver performs in a suitably designed enclosure, then choose the one that more closely meets your requirements.

Why can't I use a framebuffer for my console and the nVidia driver at the same time?
Linux Gamers' FAQBasically, the framebuffer console, with your happy pretty bootsplash, and small fonts and whatnot is a driver that uses your nVidia card. The X (x.org, xfree86, natx) nVidia driver is, the more obvious driver that provides you with working 3D, and some neat 2D stuff (twinview, and whatnot) also uses your card. If the two are used at once, they will both attempt to talk to your video card, and this is a conflict. See similar questions...

I have a libGLcore.so.1 compile error after using the NVIDIA? installer, what to do?
Chapter 13. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)This problem occurs when you use the NVIDIA? installer and not the official NVIDIA? packages of your distribution. Krusader is based on Qt™ which can be linked against the X OpenGL libraries. As a result Krusader may look for OpenGL as well. The problem is that the NVIDIA? installer (prior to version 7xxx) doesn't perform it's task properly: it replaces the OpenGL header files (which get included into Krusader) but doesn't set the libGL links correctly.

I am using the Linux NVIDIA drivers, but things aren't working properly. Can you help?
chromium B.S.U. ] - F.A.Q.Most of the problems associated with the NVIDIA drivers can be attributed to an improper install. Unfortunately, most distributions are not following the Linux OpenGL ABI very well (if at all). This makes it virtually impossible for 3rd party vendors to provide easy-to-install drivers. First, carefully read the NVIDIA Linux FAQ, then verify the following: Do a 'locate libGL.so'. Verify that every libGL.so* on your system is the NVIDIA lib (in /usr/lib) or a symbolic link to the NVIDIA lib. See similar questions...

What if I'm using more than one driver?
The Subwoofer DIY Page - Box-Building FAQSimple - just multiply the driver's Vas by the number of drivers you intend to use, then use this new value of Vas in the box calculations. For example, if your driver's Vas is 3 cu.ft., and you're using two of them, then use 3x2=6 cu.ft. in your calculations. The exception to this rule is if you're going to use an isobaric arrangement (where one driver is firing into another) - in that case you divide the Vas by the number of drivers you intend to use (normally two).
