NVIDIA Graphics Configuration
68 RedHawk Linux Version 5.4 Release Notes
• vesa – The generic fall back low performance driver which should work for all VGA
adapters.
NVIDIA has a number of generations of graphics cards which cannot all use the same “nvidia”
driver version. Not even the generic “nv” driver in the Linux kernel works on all NVIDIA cards.
The “nvidia” driver will actually disable an nvidia controller or fail to load if it is the wrong
version for that card. You cannot mix cards of different generations if the driver does not
support all of them.
There is no need to specify resolutions, refresh rates, and color depths for modern VGA adapters
and Displays. It is best to allow the hardware and software to negotiate these settings.
If resolutions, refresh rates, and color depths were generated by one of NVIDIA’s utilities
(nvidia-xconfig or nvidia-settings) they can be included, but they are superfluous,
as well as most options, unless you want to redefine the compiled-in defaults of the X server or
device driver.
WARNING
USING OLD CONFIGURATION FILES IS RISKY. IT IS NOT
UNCOMMON FOR OBSOLETE OPTIONS AND ENTRIES TO
CAUSE YOUR SYSTEM TO HANG, REBOOT, OR PREVENT
NORMAL USAGE. YOU SHOULD START WITH THESE
BASIC CONFIGS AND GRADUALLY MODIFY THEM WITH
THE OPTIONS YOU THINK YOU NEED IN ORDER TO CRE-
ATE CUSTOMIZED CONFIGURATIONS.
