Roberto brought to my attention that for both nvidia-driver and nvidia-kernel scripts the default should be SRCSUFFIX=nocompat32 That way, pure x86-64 users don't have to download both tarballs! For nvidia-kerrnel this is just better bookkeeping. Sorry for the confusion. I have reprimanded the

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= in

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

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

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
