   i had some difficulties with proprietary drivers, found these workaround:

   nvidia proprietary - core files
   for a basic functionality (3d poor performance)

   - nvidia kernel module
   copy two files from binary nvidia package:
   - /usr/lib/X11/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so
   - /usr/bin/nvidia-settings

   with slitaz I get struck with messages like "kernel sources not found"
   so, full install, no kernel modules

   sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-XXX.xxx.run --no-kernel-module --no-kernel-module-source -a

   then i have to compile a custom kernel and the nvidia module

   Hi,

   Not sure about the motivation of your post: are you requesting help?

   Anyway, you should describe your "difficulties" in more detail.

   Also, what "binary nvidia package" are you referring to? I strongly doubt there's a "radeon_drv.so" inside, because Radeon is an ATI brand!

   sorry for the stupid mistake, obviusly the file was:

   - /usr/lib/X11/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so

   the basic motivation was to find workaround for nvidia proprietary install, which has a better thermal management, with nouveau i get ten degree celsius more on my card

   i was not able to do a regular proprietary install because of "kernel sources not found" message, so i borrowed the kernel and the nvidia module from a working ubuntu install

   if someone has a better solution please post here!

   finally sorted out how to do plain install in slitaz 5:

   boot the default kernel
   boot option "nomodeset" otherwise install will fail if nouveau is loaded
   install linux-module-headers (will install slitaz-toolchain dependences)
   install nvidia binary package

   thats all!
