Re: SLI Howto

Meanwhile I got it working... :)

I had to use my /etc/default/grub with "vmalloc=320" parameter

Dear List,

I wish to enable my two Nvidia 8600GT-s in SLI-mode, but I always have this:

"cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep SLI

(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "SLI" "On"

(**) Sep 30 23:05:10 NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA SLI auto-select rendering option.

(WW) Sep 30 23:05:11 NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize SLI configuration.  Reason: One GPU

"

I read forums about these, but I don't know what is the correct setting in Debian 6.

Somewhere I read about "uppermem" and "vmalloc" here:

But I don't have "menu.lst" to do that trick...

What is the correct settings nowadays in Debian 6?

Many Thanks...
