The NVidia driver works out of the box pretty much with the stock
Slackware install, but if you use the optional 2.6.x kernel you
might have to grab a patch or two to build the NVidia driver/or get
it to load. Once done, it works fine.

(Using the NVidia-6629 driver with X11R6.8.2 and kernel-2.6.10 on my
laptop which has the GeForce FX Go 5200 card at 1600x1200
resolution)
