(app-h) APPENDIX H: TNT SPECIFIC ISSUES
__________________________________________________________________________
Most issues pertaining to SGRAM/SDRAM TNT cards should be resolved.
There is the rare chance, however, that your video card has the wrong
BIOS installed, and that this driver will continue to fail for you.
If this driver fails for you, do the following:
o watch your monitor as the system boots. The very first, brief screen
will identify the type of video memory your card has. This will be
either SGRAM or SDRAM.
o edit the file "os-registry.c" from the kernel module sources. Look
for the variable "NVreg_VideoMemoryTypeOverride". Set the value of
the variable to the type of memory you have (numerically, see the
line just above it).
o since we don't normally use this variable, change the "#if 0" that is
about 10 lines above the variable to "#if 1".
o rebuild and reinstall the new driver ("make")
