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

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
