Unified NVidia graphics driver
------------------------------

	This unified driver recognizes and supports the following NVidia
graphics products (cards actually tested are marked with an asterisk (*)):

	  RIVA TNT
	* RIVA TNT2
	* RIVA TNT2 Ultra
	  RIVA TNT2 Vanta
	  RIVA TNT2 M64
	  RIVA TNT2 Aladdin
	* GeForce 256
	  GeForce 256 DDR
	* GeForce2 MX
	* GeForce2 GTS
	  GeForce2 Ultra
	  Quadro
	  Quadro2 MXR
	  Quadro2 Pro

       --==>> This driver will DISABLE EXISTING RIVA DRIVERS! <<==--

	This new unified driver is intended to replace the existing RIVA
drivers.  To avoid nasty conflicts, the old drivers need to be disabled.
The installation scripts will do this for you automatically.

	This driver offers no new functionality over the existing RIVA 128
and RIVA TNT drivers (except perhaps more standard sync timings).  If the
existing drivers are working for you, you don't need to install this new
driver.

	[ Note: RIVA 128 support in this driver was not ready in time for
this release, and has not been activated.  The existing RIVA 128 driver will
be left unaffected.  This will be remedied in a future release. ]


Installation
------------

	Presumably you've already unpacked the archive, and are reading this
README file.

	o Open a Terminal window and 'cd' to the directory containing the
	  installation files.
	o Run the script 'install-nvidia-driver.sh'
	o Confirm installation by entering 'yes' when prompted.
	o Existing RIVA drivers will be disabled.
	o The new unified NVidia driver will be installed.
	o Reboot your system to use the new drivers.

	(For the technoids: Before rebooting, do an 'ls /dev/graphics'.  If
you see an entry beginning with 'nv', the driver installed correctly.)


Removal
-------

	To remove the unified NVidia driver and restore the old R5 drivers:

	o Open a Terminal window and 'cd' to the directory containing the
	  installation files.
	o Run the script 'remove-nvidia-driver.sh'
	o Confirm removal by entering 'yes' when prompted.
	o The unified NVidia driver will be *DELETED* from the system
	  directories.  (You may use the above procedure to re-install it
	  later.)
	o The old R5 drivers will be re-activated.
	o Reboot your system to complete the process.
