Mini-Guide: FW+SBA

Mini-Guide: Enable SBA and FW on NVIDIA cards.

You have to be using nvidia drivers, not nv or other provided by XFree86.
"#" means to do that command as ROOT.
I use "" to separate the commands from the other text, please don`t type them while you are typing the commands unless specified to do so.

0) Test if you have them enabled: "cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status"(without ")

1)Add to /etc/modutils/nvidia or in whatever place you load your nvidia module( for me, in kernel 2.6.0-test9 it worked in /etc/modprobe.conf).
    "options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1"(without ")

2)Run "update-modules" if you modified a file that requires it.

3)Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to text mode.

4)Stop X "#/etc/init.d/gdm(or whatever your display manager is) stop"

5)"#lsmod|grep nvidia" To check if the nvidia module is loaded(it should be).
    "#rmmod nvidia" To remove(close) the module.
    "#recheck $lsmod|grep nvidia" To check if it removed correctly.

6)Start X "#/etc/init.d/gdm(again, whatever your display manager is) start"

7)FW(Fast Write) and SBA(Side Band Addressing) should be enabled now, this should increase your performance.
To check if everything was done correctly: "cat /proc/drivers/nvidia/agp/status" (without ") it should show FastWrites and SBA enabled.

Good Luck ;-)
