perfect cedega/vmware/nvidia kernel options

[rocketpcguy]

because they are closed source, they always mention setting up certain kernel options for them to work properly, particularly cegega (winex). im going to re-compile my kernel soon (2.6), any particular options i need to set for cedega to work best? and vmware trial/nvidia drivers?

i can't think of anything in the kernel that will speed up cedega that would only affect cedega besides having agp working properly.

for the nvidia drivers you need to have mtrr in the kernel. if you read the how-to available for the nvidia drivers, it covers this in it.

vmware will built the modules when you are setting it up. YOu don't use *real* nvidia drivers with vmware.

vmware = virtual

try qemu which emulates..

I always leave agpgart out of the kernel entirely and just rely on the module provided by nvidia.

from kernel:
Character devices --->
< > /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)

from /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Nvidia 6800"
Driver "nvidia"
#VideoRam 262144
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
Option "RenderAccel" "On"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
Option "NoLogo" "On"
Option "HWCursor" "On"
Option "NvAGP" "1"
