This is the proprietary binary video driver from NVidia for the X.Org X-server. This package does not include the kernel module - it is a part of the nvidia-kernel package at SlackBuilds.org. Installing the 32-bit compatibility libraries is available: if desired, do: COMPAT32="yes" ./nvidia-driver.SlackBuild This script installs the new GLVND versions of the libraries by default. If this causes compatibility issues, you can switch back to the legacy non-GLVND versions with: GLVND="no" ./nvidia-driver.SlackBuild Several useful utilities are included: nvidia-xconfig, nvidia-smi, nvidia-settings, etc. Please refer to the Nvidia documentation and man pages for details and usage. For CUDA/OpenCL to work after reboot, you might need to include the following line in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local: -------------8<--------------- # Create missing nvidia device nodes after reboot /usr/bin/nvidia-modprobe -c 0 -u ------------->8--------------- Due to the current complexity of the driver, it is currently no longer possible to automate restoring the open source files. Here are the affected files: /usr/lib[64]/libGL.la /usr/lib[64]/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib[64]/libGL.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib[64]/libGLESv1_CM.la /usr/lib[64]/libGLESv1_CM.so /usr/lib[64]/libGLESv1_CM.so.1 /usr/lib[64]/libGLESv2.so /usr/lib[64]/libGLESv2.so.2 /usr/lib[64]/libEGL.so /usr/lib[64]/libEGL.so.1 /usr/lib[64]/xorg/modules/libwfb.so /usr/lib[64]/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so /usr/lib[64]/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.la The simplest way, for now, to get all the files and symlinks into the right place is to use pkgtools or slackpkg to reinstall the original mesa and xorg-server packages *after* uninstalling this nvidia package.
