Configuration

CPU

Works out of the box. See CPU frequency scaling for some tweaks.

Video

Works with the proprietary Nvidia driver in full display resolution.

TV-Out/DVI currently untested, but the graphics driver finds the interfaces, so they should be switchable with the nvidia-tools.

VGA-Out is working with nvidia-settings.

Console framebuffer is working in 1024x768 with the vga=0x317 kernel boot option. With the vesafb-tng patch the native display resolution should work, too.

Xorg

Follow this guide: NVIDIA

No problems detected.
