Martin,
The Sbo slackbuild scripts builds a standard slackware package. I used
the nvidia*.run as well for ages. But it does dump files all over the
place that the pkgtool doesn't know about. What happens when you
update mesa, xorg etc? With the packages, you can revert, update,
install a bit easie
Hi, I am a bit confused by this thread. I installed the nvidia drivers
with the Linux installer available from the nvidia site over a year ago.
As I recall, one just has to unpack the tar ball and run the script. It
finds your card and kernel, asks for confirmation and proceeds to
complete the
Well just slap me for the noob I am. I really need to pay more
attention. I'm about a 900 miles away from my box and I forgot to open
ssh before I left. It shouldn't be "" but " ". Anyway, a new nvidia
version is out and I will rejigger the script to get rid of
"no-compat32" download with a simple
I am curious as to why niki said both tarballs downloaded. Yes, for
Slack64 it doesn't matter which one you use for nvidia-kernel.
However, I put a switch in for nividia-driver to default to looking
for "-no-compat32" for the 64 bit purists. The default was the
opposite in nvidia-kernel and should
Thanks for providing these packages.
However there is a problem when trying to compile the 64bit driver
with the 32bit compatibility on both -driver and -kernel, even with
the latest diff.
The code in the script goes:
SRCSUFFIX=${SRCSUFFIX:--no-compat32}
with the added note to set SRCSUFFIX="" i
