Questions tagged [nvidia-settings]

The nvidia-settings utility is a tool for configuring the NVIDIA Linux graphics driver.

It operates by communicating with the NVIDIA X driver, querying and updating state as appropriate. This communication is done with the NV-CONTROL X extension.

Values such as brightness and gamma, XVideo attributes, temperature, and OpenGL settings can be queried and configured via nvidia-settings.
