Antialising with nvidia driver

[aze]

Hi folks!

 

I downloaded YANC to tweak some nvidia driver options but all options is unabled. However I'm trying to enable antialiasing for nvidia driver.

Anyone know how do I do that?

 

Thanks

i found that:

#!/bin/bash

export __GL_FSAA_MODE=5
export __GL_DEFAULT_LOG_ANISO=3

"$@"

just setting those enviroment variables.

But how do I set it automatically on boot?

Edit your .profile. Or perhaps your rc.local.

where do I find it?

If your using kde it's pretty easy to autostart a script. Post back if this applies and I'll go into details.

i'm confused. what type of antialiasing? for fonts? if so yyou can enable that in KDE without messing around with your card's settings. if it's some other type do clue me in.

We are talking about antialising for 3D graphisc not for fonts

Yes! i'm using KDE. what should I do?

 

And, if you know, where should I put export lines to start with X?

 

thanks!

Put your script in your home directory and name it "nvaa". Open konqureor and under the "View" menu tick on the show hidden files option. You should find a hidden directory in your home called ".kde". Open .kde and you'll see another directory called "Autostart". Go into that directory and create an empty text file called "donvaa". Copy this simple script into donvaa:

 

#!/bin/bash
cd /home/<username>
./nvaa

 

Then open a console, su to root and do:

 

# cd .kde/Autostart

# chmod a+x donvaa

 

That should do it. You can alter the above to fit your circumstances by changing the "cd" line to the path to your script if you want it in a different location and you can obviously change the name to anything you like. The script will automatically run every time kde opens. You can also autostart any program you want by dragging anything from the start menu to the Autostart directory and copying the shortcut icon there. It comes in handy sometimes.

autostart is a directory for KDE where you put stuff to start it automatically.

the directory is in

~/.kde/Autostart/

where ~ is the path to your home directory. if you type

cd ~/.kde/Autostart/

you'll be taken directly to the directory.

if you just paste

~/.kde/Autostart/

into konqueror's address bar and hit the Go button you'll be taken there directly.

The new Nvidia vidio app and driver from their site has a GUI. In it you'll find a Full Scene Antialaising feature.

Just follow the unstructions to install it at the Nvidia site.
