 To build the package for a kernel different from the running one,
 start the script setting the KERNEL variable as in
-    KERNEL=2.6.38.4 ./nvidia-kernel.SlackBuild
+    KERNEL=2.6.38.8 ./nvidia-kernel.SlackBuild
+
+A default config file is placed at /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf
+to make sure that X loads the nvidia module.  If you need to make changes, 
+copy that file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and edit the copy. 
 
 The xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist package from /extra is required.
