This is the kernel-module needed by the proprietary binary nvidia driver. You also need the nvidia-driver package from SlackBuilds.org. To build the package for a kernel different from the running one, start the script setting the KERNEL variable as in KERNEL=4.6.3 ./nvidia-legacy390-kernel.SlackBuild A default config file is placed at /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf to make sure that X loads the nvidia module. If you need to make changes, copy that file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and edit the copy. You do not need this file at all if you have a proper and complete /etc/X11/xorg.conf. The xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist package from /extra is required. The script now automatically patches for kernels 6.12, 6.18 and 7.1 in current. There is no longer a need for any parameters depending on kernel version. BIG FAT NOTE: The Nvidia 390.xx series is EOL as of December 2022. Because of the ABI change from xorg-server 1.20 to 1.21, the Nvidia 390 driver will no longer work with xorg-server on Slackware versions later than 15.0. If you are on -current, you MUST switch from xorg to xlibre to be able to use this driver.
