Can't instal Nvidia drivers after kernel 3.7.1 upgrade
After upgrade to slackware-current kernel 3.7.1 i can't install Nvidia driver 304.64.
I created symbolic link
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h
Wher i run NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.64.run hi talks - "if you have 2.4 kernel bla bla bla..."
Is any way to install Nvidia driver with new kernel?
Yes, use the 310.19 release on slackbuils.org. Unless you run an older video card which is not supported by the 310 series. if so let us know. i had to do this. requires patching the the last 304 series driver.

Hmmmm.... I had a hard freeze every now and then with the 310 and 313 drivers with the old kernel although graphics were markedly improved. Anybody else experience this? Using a GTS 450...
I suspect I will take the plunge and see if new kernel + 313 drivers keep my unfrozen.
