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.
