nvidia-settings: version 361.42 (buildd@lgw01-18) Tue Apr 5 14:33:28 UTC 2016 The NVIDIA X Server Settings tool. This program is used to configure the NVIDIA Linux graphics driver. For more detail, please see the nvidia-settings(1) man page. nvidia-settings [options] -v, --version Print the nvidia-settings version and exit. -h, --help Print usage information and exit. --config=CONFIG Use the configuration file CONFIG rather than the default ~/.nvidia-s ettings-rc -c CTRL-DISPLAY, --ctrl-display=CTRL-DISPLAY Control the specified X display. If this option is not given, then n vidia-settings will control the display specified by '--display'; if that is not given, then the $DISPLAY environment variable is used. -l, --load-config-only Load the configuration file, send the values specified therein to the X server, and exit. This mode of operation is useful to place in you r xinitrc file, for example. -n, --no-config Do not load the configuration file. This mode of operation is useful if nvidia-settings has difficulties starting due to problems with app lying settings in the configuration file. -r, --rewrite-config-file Write the X server configuration to the configuration file, and exit, without starting the graphical user interface. See EXAMPLES section. -V VERBOSE, --verbose=VERBOSE Controls how much information is printed. Valid values are 'none' (d o not print status messages), 'errors' (print error messages), 'depre cations' (print error and deprecation messages), 'warnings' (print er ror, deprecation, and warning messages), and 'all' (print error, depr ecation, warning and other informational messages). By default, 'dep recations' is set. -a ASSIGN, --assign=ASSIGN The ASSIGN argument to the '--assign' command line option is of the f orm: {DISPLAY}/{attribute name}[{display devices}]={value} This assigns the attribute {attribute name} to the value {value} on t he X Display {DISPLAY}. {DISPLAY} follows the usual {host}:{display} .{screen} syntax of the DISPLAY environment variable and is optional; when it is not specified, then it is implied following the same rule as the --ctrl-display option. If the X screen is not specified, then the assignment is made to all X screens. Note that the '/' is only r equired when {DISPLAY} is present. {DISPLAY} can additionally include a target specification to direct a n assignment to something other than an X screen. A target specifica tion is contained within brackets and consists of a target type name, a colon, and the target id. The target type name can be one of "scre en", "gpu", "framelock", "vcs", "gvi", "fan", "thermalsensor", "svp", or "dpy"; the target id is the index into the list of targets (for th at target type). The target specification can be used in {DISPLAY} w herever an X screen can be used, following the syntax {host}:{display }[{target_type}:{target_id}]. See the output of nvidia-settings -q all for information on which target types can be used with which attribut es. See the output of nvidia-settings -q screens -q gpus -q framelocks -q vcs -q gvis -q fans -q thermalsensors -q svps -q dpys for lists of targets for each target type. The [{display devices}] portion is also optional; if it is not specif ied, then the attribute is assigned to all display devices. Some examples: -a FSAA=5 -a localhost:0.0/DigitalVibrance[CRT-0]=0 --assign="SyncToVBlank=1" -a [gpu:0]/DigitalVibrance[DFP-1]=63 -q QUERY, --query=QUERY The QUERY argument to the '--query' command line option is of the for m: {DISPLAY}/{attribute name}[{display devices}] This queries the current value of the attribute {attribute name} on t he X Display {DISPLAY}. The syntax is the same as that for the '--as sign' option, without '={value}'; specify '-q screens', '-q gpus', '- q framelocks', '-q vcs', '-q gvis', '-q fans', '-q thermalsensors', ' -q svps', or '-q dpys' to query a list of X screens, GPUs, Frame Lock devices, Visual Computing Systems, SDI Input Devices, Fans, Thermal S ensors, 3D Vision Pro Transceivers, or Display Devices, respectively, that are present on the X Display {DISPLAY}. Specify '-q all' to que ry all attributes. -t, --terse When querying attribute values with the '--query' command line option , only print the current value, rather than the more verbose descript ion of the attribute, its valid values, and its current value. -d, --display-device-string When printing attribute values in response to the '--query' option, i f the attribute value is a display device mask, print the value as a list of display devices (e.g., "CRT-0, DFP-0"), rather than a hexadec imal bit mask (e.g., 0x00010001). -g, --glxinfo Print GLX Information for the X display and exit. -e DESCRIBE, --describe=DESCRIBE Prints information about a particular attribute. Specify 'all' to li st the descriptions of all attributes. Specify 'list' to list the at tribute names without a descriptions. -p PAGE, --page=PAGE The PAGE argument to the '--page' commandline option selects a partic ular page in the nvidia-settings user interface to display upon start ing nvidia-settings. Valid values are the page names in the tree vie w on the left side of the nvidia-settings user interface; e.g., --page="X Screen 0" Because some page names are not unique (e.g., a "PowerMizer" page is present under each GPU), the page name can optionally be prepended wi th the name of the parent X Screen or GPU page, followed by a comma. E.g., --page="GPU 0 - (Quadro 6000), PowerMizer" The first page with a name matching the PAGE argument will be used. By default, the "X Server Information" page is displayed. -L, --list-targets-only When performing an attribute query (from the '--query' command line o ption) or an attribute assignment (from the '--assign' command line o ption or when loading an ~/.nvidia-settings-rc file), nvidia-settings identifies one or more targets on which to query/assign the attribute . The '--list-targets-only' option will cause nvidia-settings to list t he targets on which the query/assign operation would have been perfor med, without actually performing the operation(s), and exit. -w, --write-config, --no-write-config Save the configuration file on exit (enabled by default). -i, --use-gtk2 Force nvidia-settings to use the GTK+ 2 library for the graphical use r interface if a user interface is required. This option is only avai lable on systems where nvidia-settings supports both the GTK+ 2 and G TK+ 3 user interfaces. -I GTK-LIBRARY, --gtk-library=GTK-LIBRARY Specify the graphical user interface library to use if a nvidia-setti ngs user interface is required. This value may be the exact location of the library or it may be the directory containing the appropriatel y named library. If this is the exact location, the 'use-gtk2' option is ignored.
