+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.
+
+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.
+
+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. 
+
+Note: x86_64 COMPAT32 enviroment is not supported.
+
+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'll have to do the switch manually, or xorg won't work on next startup.
+Here are the affected files:
+  /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2
+  /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/{libglx.so libglx.la}
+
+or, for Slackware64,
+
+  /usr/lib64/libGL.so.1.2
+  /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/{libglx.so libglx.la}
+
+Simply remove the dead nvidia symlinks and rename the saved '-xorg' appended files.
