-Since this nvidia-driver conflicts with some files of xorg, it's a bit
-complex to install/uninstall the driver.  However, installation of the
-nvidia-driver package itself backs up the conflicting files and puts
-the nvidia-specific files into place.
-
-Included is a script called nvidia-switch, which is used to switch from
-the xorg driver to the nvidia driver, but it will not edit xorg.conf
-for you; you have to do that manually.  The nvidia-switch script is
-installed to /usr/sbin. NOTE: Although nvidia-switch is aware of a
-COMPAT32 environment, its use therein is not supported.
-
-Usage of nvidia-switch:
-  nvidia-switch --install  <--> install the nvidia files and save the
-                                stock xorg files.
-  nvidia-switch --remove   <--> remove the nvidia files and symlinks and
-                                restore the stock xorg files.
-
-You do NOT have to run nvidia-switch after installing the package.
-
-Before uninstalling or upgrading this package, it is important that
-you execute 'nvidia-switch --remove', which will switch back to the
-stock xorg files and remove all links created by nvidia-switch during
-installation. If you forget to do this, you might have to do the switch
-manually, since 'nvidia-switch --install' may fail, resulting in xorg
-not working. Here are the affected files:
-
-  /usr/lib[64]/libGL.so.1.2
-  /usr/lib[64]/xorg/modules/extensions/{libglx.so libglx.la}
-
-Simply remove the dead nvidia symlinks and rename the saved '-xorg'
-appended files.
+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.
