A graphical configuration utility, nvidia-settings, is included with the NVIDIA Linux graphics driver. After installing the driver and starting X, you can run this configuration utility by running:

    % nvidia-settings

in a terminal window. nvidia-settings requires version 2.4 or later of the GTK+ 2 library.

Some architectures of Linux support the GTK+ 3 library and would require version 3.0 or later if available.

Detailed information about the configuration options available are documented in the help window in the utility.
