   I think my card is older than yours, it's a "GeForce GT 610" and has not   
   used the nvidia driver in many years. I could use a new card too, but   
   this card still works, tested with GLX. I do have a problem with the   
   plasma splash screen when I download and use the "Quarks Splash Darker"   
   splash screen, it crashes plasma and becomes unresponsive, using the   
   default breeze splash screen works with no problem. I test different   
   computers and different linux systems and have no other problems using   
   Slackware 15.0 or Current.
