Rename module from nv_drv.so to nouveau_drv.so to allow both nv and nouveau
to coexist. Also disabled building of riva128.so, as we plan on merging it
with the rest of the nv code.

The driver supports 2D +acceleration and provides support for the following framebuffer depths: +8, 15, 16 (except Riva128) and 24. All +visual types are supported for depth 8, TrueColor and DirectColor +visuals are supported for the other depths with the exception of +the Riva128 which only supports TrueColor in the higher depths. + +.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE +The +.B nv +driver supports PCI, PCI-Express and AGP video cards based on the following NVIDIA chips: +.TP 22 +.B RIVA 128 +NV3 +.TP 22 +.B RIVA TNT +NV4 +.TP 22 +.B RIVA TNT2 +NV5 +.TP 22 +.B GeForce 256, QUADRO +NV10 +.TP 22 +.B GeForce2, QUADRO2 +NV11 & NV15 +.TP 22 +.B GeForce3, QUADRO DCC +NV20 +.TP 22 +.B nForce, nForce2 +NV1A, NV1F +.TP 22 +.B GeForce4, QUADRO4 +NV17, NV18, NV25, NV28 +.TP 22 +.B GeForce FX, QUADRO FX +NV30, NV31, NV34, NV35, NV36, NV37, NV38 +.TP 22 +.B GeForce 6XXX +NV40, NV41, NV43, NV44, NV45, C51 +.TP 22 +.B GeForce 7XXX +G70, G71, G72, G73 + +.SH CONFIGURATION DETAILS +Please refer to __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) for general configuration +details.

In +the case that this fails, this option can be used to force the driver to +treat the attached device as a digital flat panel. With this +driver, a digital flat panel will work only if it was POSTed by the BIOS, +that is, the computer +must have booted to the panel. If you have a dual head card +you may also need to set the option CrtcNumber described above. +Default: autodetected. +.TP +.BI "Option \*qFPDither\*q \*q" boolean \*q +Many digital flat panels (particularly ones on laptops) have only 6 bits +per component color resolution. +This option tells the driver to dither from 8 bits per component to 6 before +the flat panel truncates it. +Default: off. +.TP +.BI "Option \*qFPScale\*q \*q" boolean \*q +Supported only on GeForce4 and newer chips, this option +tells to the driver to scale lower resolutions up to the flat panel's native +resolution. Default: on. +.TP +.BI "Option \*qRotate\*q \*qCW\*q" +.TP +.BI "Option \*qRotate\*q \*qCCW\*q" +Rotate the display clockwise or counterclockwise. This mode is unaccelerated. +Default: no rotation. + +Note: The Resize and Rotate extension will be disabled if the Rotate "CW" or +Rotate "CCW" options are used. +.TP +.BI "Option \*qRotate\*q \*qRandR\*q" +Enable rotation of the screen using the Resize and Rotate extension. +This mode is unaccelerated. +Default: no rotation support. +.TP +.BI "Option \*qShadowFB\*q \*q" boolean \*q +Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer.
