Slackware 13.1slackware-13.1
Wed May 19 08:58:23 UTC 2010 Slackware 13.1 x86_64 stable is released! Lots of thanks are due -- see the RELEASE_NOTES and the rest of the ChangeLog for credits. The ISOs are on their way to replication, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. We are taking pre-orders now at store.slackware.com, and offering a discount if you sign up for a subscription. Consider picking up a copy to help support the project. Thanks again to the Slackware community for testing, contributing, and generally holding us to a high level of quality. :-) Enjoy!

+This is not the experimental nouveau driver for nVidia cards.
+
+It is a stub package that installs /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-blacklist.conf,
+to prevent the nouveau dri module shipped with our kernel from preventing
+the nv driver and/or the binary nVidia driver from working.
+
+If you want to use nouveau, remove this package.
+
+Sorry if it interferes with anyone's xf86-video-nouveau package that they
+didn't get from us, but this seems like the best default. When a real
+xf86-video-nouveau package appears someday, installing it will remove
+the module blacklist file.
