A more general question regarding 'nvidia-driver'. One of my boxes is a 
"build box" with four Slackware systems on it. Slackware 13.37, 
Slackware64 13.37, Slackware 14.0RC2 and Slackware64 14.0RC2. Since I 
install many additional packages on the average Slackware desktop 
(between 150 and 200), I prefer building all the additional stuff 
centrally on one machine, and then install only my compiled binary 
packages on other machines.

Now this "build box" has an NVidia GeForce 6200 card, with the 
'nvidia-driver' and 'nvidia-kernel' packages installed and configured.

Could this be a problem when compiling stuff for other boxes that don't 
have an NVidia card? Right now I'm using Xfce on all my desktops, but I 
remember last year I did something similar with a hand-compiled KDE 
4.6.5 desktop, and I had trouble because of the installed NVidia driver. 
I had to revert my machine to a "vanilla" state (nvidia-switch --remove) 
and rebuild KDE.

Eventually, which packages could be affected here?

Cheers,

Niki
