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}
|
|
|
|
The Wine libraries are now installed by default. To disable, pass
|
|
WINE="no" to the script.
|
|
|
|
Installing the 32-bit compatibility libraries is available:
|
|
if desired, do:
|
|
|
|
COMPAT32="yes" ./nvidia-legacy470-driver.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
This script now gives the option of installing the nvidia-persitenced
|
|
daemon. For details, see README.nvidia-persitenced.
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
(This is required if you plan on running nvidia-persistenced)
|
|
|
|
# Create missing nvidia device nodes after reboot
|
|
/usr/bin/nvidia-modprobe -c 0 -u
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
1. You still need to blacklist the open source nouveau driver.
|
|
This is easily done by installing xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist in
|
|
extra/xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist on the distibution DVD.
|
|
|
|
2. It is now no longer required to remove the old driver before
|
|
running this script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. With Slackware 15.0, nvidia-switch has been dropped once and for
|
|
all as there are no longer any conflicts.
|
|
|
|
CAUTION! Please DO NOT USE this script for Slackware(64) versions 14.2
|
|
or older as it WILL corrupt the mesa and xorg installations.
|
|
Please use the script from those repos instead.
|
|
|
|
The Nvidia 470.xx series will be supported through December 2024.
