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-legacy470-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, move 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
xorg.conf.
The xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist package from /extra is required.
The Nvidia 470.xx series is now EOL as of December 2024.
NOTE: To build in -current against the 6.12.x kernel, pass
"CURRENT=yes" to the script.
To build against the 6.13.x or 6.14.x kernels in /testing, pass
"KERNEL614=yes" to the script (forces CURRENT=yes).
