Some nvidia driver versions are incompatible with certain kernel versions. One example is nvidia's 319.32 driver and the 3.10.* kernel series. In order to use the official proprietary nvidia 319.32 driver with the 3.10.* kernel series, one had to apply this patch: http://sprunge.us/UaaH or use a newer version of the driver that does support the kernel version. You can also [[http://www.slackbuilds.org/faq/#version_update|follow the SlackBuilds.org guideline when a newer version is out and the maintainer has not updated it]]. | Some nvidia driver versions are incompatible with certain kernel versions and vice versa (some kernel versions are incompatible with some nvidia driver versions) for various reasons. A specific kernel configuration, a specific nvidia driver against a specific kernel version amongst other possibilities. Generally it is best to use the nvidia driver package provided along with the kernel packages provided by your Slackware version. You can also [[http://www.slackbuilds.org/faq/#version_update|follow the SlackBuilds.org guideline]] for manually updating a version of some software yourself. |
