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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Heinz Wiesinger, the author of the build script, has written a script called
|
||
|
|
nvidia-switch, which can be used to switch between the stock xorg driver and
|
||
|
|
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 --xorg <--> switch to the stock xorg files
|
||
|
|
nvidia-switch --nvidia <--> switch to the proprietary nvidia files
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Before uninstalling this package, it is important that you execute
|
||
|
|
'nvidia-switch --xorg', which will switch back to the stock xorg files.
|
||
|
|
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/include/GL/{gl.h glx.h glxext.h glext.h}
|
||
|
|
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/{libGLcore.so libGLcore.la libglx.so libglx.la}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This also requires the nvidia-kernel package from SlackBuilds.org.
