+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B nv 
+is an XFree86 driver for NVIDIA video cards.  The driver supports full 2D 
+acceleration and provides support for the following framebuffer depths:
+8, 15, 16 (except Riva128) and 24.  All
+visual types are supported for depth 8, TrueColor and DirectColor
+visuals are supported for the other depths with the exception of
+the Riva128 which only supports TrueColor in the higher depths. 
+
+.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE
+The
+.B nv
+driver supports PCI and AGP video cards based on the following NVIDIA chips:

+.SH CONFIGURATION DETAILS
+Please refer to XF86Config(__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 \*qNoAccel\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+Disable or enable acceleration.  Default: acceleration is enabled.
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qUseFBDev\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+Enable or disable use of on OS-specific fb interface (and is not supported
+on all OSs).  See fbdevhw(__drivermansuffix__) for further information.
+Default: off.
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qCrtcNumber\*q \*q" integer \*q
+nForce2, Quadro4, GeForce4 and NV30 may have two video outputs.  
+The driver attempts to autodetect
+which one the monitor is connected to.  In the case that autodetection picks
+the wrong one, this option may be used to force usage of a particular output. 
+The options are "0" or "1".
+Default: autodetected.
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qFlatPanel\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+The driver usually cannot autodetect the presence of a flat panel so
+this option should be set when used with a flat panel.  With this driver
+a flat panel will only work if it was POSTed by the BIOS, that is, the
+machine must have booted to the panel.
+Default: off.
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qFPDither\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+Most digital flat panels have only 6 bits per component color resolution.
+This option tells the driver to dither from 8 bits per component to 6 before
+the flat panel truncates it. This is only suported in depth 24 on NV11, 
+nForce2, GeForce4, Quadro4 and NV30.
+Default: off.
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qRotate\*q \*qCW\*q"
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qRotate\*q \*qCCW\*q"
+Rotate the display clockwise or counterclockwise.  This mode is unaccelerated.
+Default: no rotation.
+
+Note: Option Rotate does not work unless the Resize and Rotate extension has
+been turned off.
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qShadowFB\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer.  Default: off.
