+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.
+
+NOTE: 64-bit x86_64 support ONLY for Slackware64. For x86 32-bit
+support, use nvidia-legacy390-{driver,kernel}
+
+The Wine libraries are now installed by default.  To disable, pass
+  WINE="no" to the script.
+
+Installing the 32-bit compatibility libraries is available:
+if desired, do:
+
+  COMPAT32="yes" ./nvidia-legacy470-driver.SlackBuild
+
+This script now gives the option of installing the nvidia-persitenced
+daemon.  For details, see README.nvidia-persitenced.
+
+Several useful utilities are included: nvidia-xsettings, nvidia-smi,
+and nvidia-settings.  Please refer to the Nvidia documentation and
+man pages for details and usage.
+
+For CUDA/OpenCL to work after reboot, and for utilites such as
+nvidia-smi, you might need to include the following line in your
+/etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+(This is required if you plan on running nvidia-persistenced)
+
+    # Create missing nvidia device nodes after reboot
+    /usr/bin/nvidia-modprobe -c 0 -u
+
+Notes:
+1.  You still need to blacklist the open source nouveau driver.
+    This is easily done by installing xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist in
+    extra/xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist on the distibution DVD.
+
+2.  It is now no longer required to remove the old driver before
+    running this script.
+
+
+3.  With Slackware 15.0, nvidia-switch has been dropped once and for
+    all as there are no longer any conflicts.
+
+CAUTION!  Please DO NOT USE this script for Slackware(64) versions 14.2
+or older as it WILL corrupt the mesa and xorg installations.
+Please use the script from those repos instead.
+
+The Nvidia 470.xx series will be supported through December 2024.
