xorg.conf for Nvidia Cards

[KevinO]

Ok I am back to linux because I just replaced my ATI card with a Nvidia card. Is there a configuration utility that comes with Nvidia like ATI (fglrxconfig)? I have nvidia running with hardware acceleration, but what other options are available in xorg.conf (like memory, etc). I haven't found a good doc to explain this.

Also, how do I force my refresh rate to 100 in the config?

Thanks

There are a few things of interest. Check for nvidia-settings (adjust misc settings) and nvclock (adjust core/memory clock) for sure.

Did you try actually reading the docs?

Most of the time you don't need to specify card memory amount cause xorg is smart enough to determine that on its own.

To get a higher refresh rate, enter your monitor's hsync and vsync rates correctly. xorg should (in theory) use the highest refresh rate supported by those numbers for whatever resolution you're in.

I use Gentoo and have been away from Linux for about 6 months, so I trying to re-familiarize with linux. I followed the Nvidia installation doc and like I said I am running via hardware acceleration through the Nvidia driver.
