DESCRIPTION
       nouveau  is an Xorg driver for NVIDIA video cards.  The driver supports 2D acceleration and provides support for the fol-
       lowing framebuffer depths: (15,) 16  and 24.  TrueColor visuals are supported for these depths.


SUPPORTED HARDWARE
       The nouveau driver supports PCI, PCI-Express and AGP video cards based on the following NVIDIA chips:

       RIVA TNT              NV4

       RIVA TNT2             NV5

       GeForce 256, QUADRO   NV10

       GeForce2, QUADRO2     NV11 & NV15

       GeForce3, QUADRO DCC  NV20

       nForce, nForce2       NV1A, NV1F

       GeForce4, QUADRO4     NV17, NV18, NV25, NV28

       GeForce FX, QUADRO FX NV30, NV31, NV34, NV35, NV36, NV37, NV38

       GeForce 6XXX          NV40, NV41, NV43, NV44, NV45, C51

       GeForce 7XXX          G70, G71, G72, G73


CONFIGURATION DETAILS
       Please refer to xorg.conf(5) for general configuration details.  This section only covers configuration details  specific
       to this driver.

       The driver auto-detects the chipset type and the amount of video memory present for all chips.

       The following driver Options are supported:

       Option "HWCursor" "boolean"
              Enable or disable the HW cursor.  Default: on.

       Option "NoAccel" "boolean"
              Disable or enable acceleration.  Default: acceleration is enabled.

       Option "ShadowFB" "boolean"
              Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer.  Default: off.

       Option "WrappedFB" "boolean"
              Enable  or  disable wfb, only affects nv50+. Useful for some legacy configurations where high rendering latency is
              perceived.  Default: wfb is disabled.
