TNT USERS
NVIDIA Release 0.9-3
This driver should correct the problem we've had relating to SGRAM/SDRAM TNT
cards. There is the rare chance, however, that your video card has the wrong
bios installed, and that this driver will continue to fail for you.
If this driver fails for you, do the following:
- watch your monitor as the system boots. The very first, brief screen
will identify the type of video memory your card has. This will
be either SGRAM or SDRAM.
- get the most recent NVIDIA_kernel tarball from our web site, and unpack
it.
- edit the file "os-registry.c" from the kernel module sources. Look for the
variable "NVreg_VideoMemoryTypeOverride". Set the value of this
variable to the type of memory you have (numerically, see the line
just above it).
- since we don't normally use this variable, change the "#if 0" that is
about 10 lines above the variable to "#if 1".
- rebuild and reinstall the new driver ("make")
This will force the driver to ignore the card's bios, and use your values.
