Dick,

Nvidia dropped support for the 610 GPU in the 400-series and newer
drivers.  You will need to install the legacy 390.87 version.

see the "Supported Products" tab here:
https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/137275/en-us

For Slackbuilds.org get the  nvidia-legacy390-driver and
nvidia-legacy390-kernel here:

http://www.slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/system/nvidia-legacy390-driver/
http://www.slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/system/nvidia-legacy390-kernel/

Have fun!
