====== Nvidia driver setup ==

This page explains how a proprietary driver for an Nvidia graphics card is installed and configured on (Slackware 13.1) Linux.

<note warning>For Nvidia legace card users: According to http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=153892 the The 71.xx.xx drivers don't support Xorg server > 1.4.x. which means that the driver will not work at a recent Slackware!</note>

  - ''lspci -v | grep -A6 VGA'' shows your card type. If 'Nvidia' doesn't appear, you can stop reading now ;-)
  - Go to [[http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx|Nvidia driver download page]], select your card type and download the driver.
  - Make the installer runnable and run it.
  - If you didn't install the kerel source download it now, it's located in the k series of slackware, for Slack 13.1 it is [[http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/slackware/slackware-13.1/slackware/k/|here]]
  - Create and config an ''xorg.conf'' file. See [[xorg_tips#x-server_configuration_old_way]]
  - Further edit ''xorg.conf'' according to Additional information -> README on the Nvidia driver download page:

<code>
find the relevant Device section and replace the line:

        Driver "nv"
    (or Driver "vesa")

with 

        Driver "nvidia"  

In the Module section, make sure you have:

        Load   "glx"

You should also remove the following lines:
      
        Load  "dri"
        Load  "GLcore"

if they exist. 
</code>
