Some updates and changes to the proprietary nvidia drivers:

*SUPPORTED*
- -----------
nvidia-{driver | kernel} = 346.xx long lived branch

nvidia-legacy340 = 340.xx legacy series
nvidia-legacy304 = 304.xx legacy series

*END OF LIFE*
- -------------
nvidia-legacy173  2013.12.6  xorg-server<=1.15
nvidia-legacy96   2012.09.17 xorg-server<=1.12

I only have time to support 2 legacy branches, as well as no longer
having any GPUs this old.  Slackware-14.1 now uses xorg-server-1.14.3
- -------------

I will not submit a final update to nvidia-legacy173 (173.14.39)
unless requested.  The current slackbuilds (173.14.38) "should" work
with just a version change edit.

You should run at least nvidia-legacy304 for GPUs from the 6-series
and newer. Please review the supported GPU list on www.nvidia.com.

I will submit updates later today.   Have fun,
Ed
