Hello Ed:

Thanks for reading my "bug" report.

I've found this in the slackbuild for 14.1 (nvidia-driver version 
352.63), the currently stable version of Slackware (sorry, I forgot to 
say this).

I don't know if it has been there for previous versions of the 
nvidia-driver, or if it affects SlackBuilds-current also (is there a 
SlackBuilds-current?).

I wonder if it has raised any problem in the use of the driver, of if it 
could have gone unnoticed indefinitely...

Thanks.
