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.

NOTE: 64-bit x86_64 support ONLY for Slackware64. For x86 32-bit support,
use nvidia-legacy390-{driver,kernel}

Installing the 32-bit compatibility libraries is available: if desired, do:
  COMPAT32="yes" ./nvidia-driver.SlackBuild
  
If you plan to test this buildscript on current (15.0 EXPERIMENTAL), to
avoid stomping on the installed libglvnd, do:
  CURRENT="yes" ./nvidia-driver.SlackBuild

Several useful utilities are included: nvidia-xsettings, nvidia-smi, and
nvidia-settings.  Please refer to the Nvidia documentation and man pages
for details and usage.

For CUDA/OpenCL to work after reboot, and for utilites such as nvidia-smi,
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---------------

Notes:
1.  You still need to blacklist the opensource nouveau driver. This is
    easily done by installing xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist-noarch-1.txz
    in extra/xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist on the distibution DVD.
2.  If nvidia-driver is already installed, there may be extraneous
    "unable to find installed file..." messages on the console and log.
    This is benign and due to the nvidia installer not being very smart.
3.  If you want to revert back to the open source drivers, run 
    'nvidia-switch --remove' to restore the original libGL.la and then
    'removepkg nvidia-driver' "should" work in most cases. If not, simply
    reinstall the orginal Mesa and xorg-server packages.
