[PLUG] Setting up nVidia driver on Slackware

[Ben Koenig]

First, which nvidia card do you have? Model #?

Second, you want to make sure you have both nvidia slackbuilds installed
$ ls -l /var/log/packages |grep nvidia

You should see nvidia-driver and nvidia-kernel.

Third, make sure the nvidia kernel module is loaded.
$ lsmod

This will output all your loaded drivers, look through the list for the
following modules:
"nvidia"
"nouveau"

It's possible you see one, the other, both, or neither depending on what is
going wrong here.
