If you use the HP version of the tested Nvidia drivers, use the /usr/bin/nvidia-settings command to access the desktop icon for the graphical utility: This utility provides access to: ● X Server information ● X Server Display Information - includes screen layouts, display resolutions and timings, and TwinView™ settings. ● X Screen # - includes color gamma correction, XVideo settings, cursor and OpenGL settings, and Antialiasing requirements ● GPU # - includes thermal, power, and probed monitor information Use /usr/bin/nvidia-settings to output a usable X server configuration file. This utility can merge existing contents, write a clean file, or specify an alternate location so that the X -config startup line can be used to test a configuration before accepting. Additional documentation is installed in the /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0 directory. This directory includes: ● README.txt-Complete Nvidia features discussion and X server configuration options ● NVIDIA Changelog-Driver version release notes ● Sample X server configuration files. SLI Graphics Acceleration Dual PCIe can be linked together to drive a single graphics display to achieve up to two times more performance of a single graphics card. This is accomplished through Scalable Link Interface (™), a cardbridge technology provided by Nvidia. Only specific graphics card models support SLI™ technology, and SLI requires that the be of the same type (homogenous configuration). For more information on these advanced settings, see the documentation provided with the drivers. Xinerama / NVIDIA TwinView The X.org extension supports continuous display technology on the X server for multiple card and monitor configurations. When enabled, it changes independent displays to continuous displays. Xinerama is configured with a ServerFlags option or enabled with a command-line option. Additionally, NVIDIA cards recognize TwinView configuration options to manage continuous desktops across screens hosted on the same card. The /usr/bin/nvidia-settings configuration tool provides the most accurate and reliable management of these options for multiple NVIDIA . 30-bit (10-bit-per-channel) X Visuals Except for NVS-series cards, NVIDIA Quadro® cards with G80 or later GPUs support internal circuitry for 30-bit (10-bit-per-channel) color. Cards that support the DisplayPort connection standard can generate signals to drive select high-color-gamut DisplayPort monitors (including the HP DreamColor 14 Chapter 4 Linux graphics for HP workstations ENWW
