 Thanks. Thanks.
 > Yeah sure, I'll put your github link back. Not sure why you removed it previously, though.  --- //[[wiki:user:tommyc|TommyC]] 2014/03/07 22:55// > Yeah sure, I'll put your github link back. Not sure why you removed it previously, though.  --- //[[wiki:user:tommyc|TommyC]] 2014/03/07 22:55//

 +>> Not sure I was clear then.  The main repo you will then be pointing folks to is, and will continue to be, out of date as jgeboski has no way to continue to test these properly.  He has asked that I take it over.  You can chat with him on irc if you like.  A link at the bottom of the page is just going to be confusing as most folks do not read the bottom of the page first.  --- //[[wiki:user:whitewolf1776|whitewolf1776]] 2014/03/08 08:12//
 +
 +>>> Nah I believe you. No need to repeat yourself. I'll be adding in your repo soon enough.  --- //[[wiki:user:tommyc|TommyC]] 2014/03/08 13:42//
 +
 +You may want to add a note about -current... the kernel updates out today break the nvidia driver.  So far I haven't worked out a fix. Hopefully this is just a short lived issue --- //[[wiki:user:whitewolf1776|whitewolf1776]] 2014/05/09 19:10//
 +
 +> I'm also hoping it'll be pretty short, but since future problems between software X and software Y that rely on each other for anything (not just nvidia/linux) could occur, I updated the note about mixing and matching nvidia and kernel versions to cover these problems whenever Slackware runs into them.  --- //[[wiki:user:tommyc|TommyC]] 2014/05/12 06:39//

 +Thanks to Ryan McQuen, there is now a fully automated install script available for bumblebee. Details are in the readme on github. --- //[[wiki:user:whitewolf1776|whitewolf1776]] 2014/10/07 0932//
 +
 +A few places there is reference to unsupported or missing slackbuilds.  This is incorrect and I thought would be updated by now, but specifically, I maintain branches for 14.0 and now 14.1 as -current has moved on and changed adding libvdpau to the core slackware install now. As such it will be removed from the master repo but will still be available via the 14.1 branch, just as the mesa patch is available via the 14.0 branch. Also, just as a heads up, bumblebee is gearing up for a new release, likely early in the new year.  I'll let you know when they decide to update it what will need to change.  Thanks. --- //[[wiki:user:whitewolf1776|whitewolf1776]] 2014/12/22 0951//
 +
 +The crazybee script now has a stable option.  When you get a chance please update the page to reflect that.  Details can be found on the github site.  Thanks. --- //[[wiki:user:whitewolf1776|whitewolf1776]] 2015/02/09//
 +
 +Why this instruction "COMPAT32=yes ./nvidia-kernel.SlackBuild" says to use the COMPAT32=yes if in the nvidia-kernel.Slackbuild there is no such COMPAT32 switch? --- //[[wiki:user:br_orion|br_orion]] 2015/02/25//
 +
 +Likely an oversight on my part when i inherited the scripts.  It is not needed by the nvidia-kernel in any way.  Nice catch br_orion, thx :) TommyC, update please when you get the time, the README on github is updated. -- //[[wiki:user:whitewolf1776|whitewolf1776]] 2015/02/25//
 +
 +>Updated info. except about the version branches. I'll get to those later since some -current updates have added some of the bumblebee dependencies for some of the branches (including libjpeg-turbo for the VirtualGL option), been a busy quarter too.  --- //[[wiki:user:tommyc|TommyC]] 2015/04/23 23:03//
