## Alternative - use Bumblebee

https://github.com/ryuuzaki42/24_Bumblebee-SlackBuilds-Packages/

## How Install

### 1. Download the latest release version that matches with the kernel in use and extract:

    14_Nvidia_Driver_Slackware__.zip

https://github.com/ryuuzaki42/14_Nvidia_Driver_Slackware/releases/

### The latest update

https://github.com/ryuuzaki42/14_Nvidia_Driver_Slackware/releases/latest

### 2. Login as root and upgradepkg xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist

    cd 14_Nvidia_Driver_Slackware*/final_packages/

    su

    upgradepkg upgrade/xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist-1.0-noarch-1.txz

### 3. Install / Upgrade nvidia-driver and nvidia-kernel

    upgradepkg --install-new --reinstall nvidia-driver-*z nvidia-kernel-*z

### 4. Add the configuration file

    cp 21-LAR-nvidia-screens.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/21-LAR-nvidia-screens.conf

### 5. Reboot your system to take effect

## Test

    xrandr --listproviders

Should display a provider named NVIDIA-G0 (for “NVIDIA GPU screen 0”)

    glxinfo | grep "OpenGL vendor"

Should display your integrated GPU's' vendor as opposed to NVIDIA (e.g., Intel)

    __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia glxinfo | grep "OpenGL vendor"

Should display: "OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation"

## To run games on Steam

https://wiki.debian.org/NVIDIA%20Optimus#Using_NVIDIA_PRIME_Render_Offload

    __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia %command%

### With mangohud

    __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia mangohud %command%

## If you use slackpkg+, set nouveau to greylist:

https://slakfinder.org/slackpkg+.html

    echo "xf86-video-nouveau" >> /etc/slackpkg/greylist

## After a kernel update will need to rebuilt nvidia-kernel

## Build using scripts based on:

https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/system/nvidia-driver/ with COMPAT32="yes"
