-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.
