Slackware-13.0 x86_64 : Multilib, Nvidia & Wine
 

I'm confused about the nvidia driver : how do I setup both 32 & 64 bit drivers?

Here's what I did :

- installed multilib as per alien's wiki : upgraded/installed gcc compiler suite, GNU libc libraries, compat32-tools, massconvert32.sh of 32bit slackware package tree

stuck at nvidia driver installation. how do i proceed?

- use sbopkg to install nvidia driver & kernel module * OR *
- download and install proprietary nvidia binary (which version should i use?)

Also, how do i check if opengl is working in wine or 32 bit mode?

Thanks.

This is what I've done:
Installed multilib from Alien BOB,
reinstalled nvidia drives (from their site; 64 bit version), there was question if I want to install 32 bit compatibility libs - choosed yes.
Then I installed wine package (32 bit, after creating compat32 package) and it's working fine.

To check if opengl is worikng type: glxgears, or glxinfo | grep -i -e vendor -e direct
To check if its working with wine run an exe which needs glx. If it isn't console will tell you that.

Current version of the driver (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.53-pkg2.run) did not provide the option to install 32 bit compatibility libs. That's where I'm stuck at.

What version are you using?

problem is solved now. reinstalled slackware and installed all multilib files, during setup of nvidia proprietary binary, it prompted to install 32bit libs.

Thanks
