X86Free

Graphics Card

Vesa

The easiest way to get x windows up and running is to use the vesa drivers. Change the XF86Config-4 file device section.

Section "Device"
Identifier "Geforce2Go"
Driver "vesa"
Option "UseFBDev" "true"
EndSection


nv - X86Free

The X86Free driver for nvidia Cards. Works but not as well as the proriatory nVidia ones. If you have an ideological problem with the nVidia supplied drivers then use this one. Change the XF86Config-4 file device section.

Section "Device"
Identifier "Geforce2Go"
Driver "nv"
Option "UseFBDev" "true"
EndSection

nVidia

My personal choice. Supports TwinView and works great. See the download section to download the 2314 kernel and 2313 glx tar balls. Compile them and change the XF86Config-4 file device section.

Section "Device"
Identifier "Geforce2Go"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NvAGP" "3"
EndSection

LCD Display

The modlines have to be changed in order for the display to work. The HorizSync and VertRefresh are tested and not by any way prooven to work. So start low and increase the values slowly. These values work just fine for me though.

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "LCD"
HorizSync 31.5-62
VertRefresh 50-100
Option "DPMS"
EndSection

external USB Mouse

I am using an external Logitech Cordless MouseMan wheel. Works.

external Monitor

I recently bought a Samsung SyncMaster 950p Plus. I am still working on a TwinView configuration which will allow me to use both monitors with different resolutions. Meanwhile I am using two different XF86Config-4 files which I exchange with a small script when I want to switch the resolution. Not perfect but for now it works.
