Is there a way to prevent kconf_update from

What version of the nVidia drivers does Slackware install?
The issue occurs within a very low level section of code, and I have not seen it on my Ubuntu systems in ages, thus I suspect it may be a known issue with older versions of the nVidia driver.
Slackware does not install any Nvidia packages. They are left to the users to build and install.
I am using 195.36.31 and have been for a long time. That is what I'm using on 3.5.10 too, where I don't see this behavior.
Is changing the Nvidia package the answer? Many people are going to be attracted to TDE because of the potential to run on older hardware. If those people have older Nvidia cards they will be using legacy drivers.

I don't know. This particular bug would require a LOT of time to troubleshoot and I don't have that much time to offer for free at this point.
If anyone else wants to take a stab at it feel free!
