No. It is not deep. You only want someone who spells it for you.
Laziness pure.

Do you mean Open GL? I don't know any OpenCL driver.

You should use that driver but don't download it from nvidia but take
the packaged one from your apt-sources. (Use the jockey script like the
janitor script executes it and how it is described in my blog)

It is exactly the same driver but packaged specially for you and your
distribution. The binaries are exactly the same, bit by bit.
Don't try to invent every wheel again while you are not even able to
find out such easy relationships yourself.

Why you ask me? Read the script. It is extra written in shell script
(bash) which normally everybody can read. If you cannot speak shell
script, don't ask me but learn to speak shell script. If you don't want
to learn it, do me an offer (PM), I can provide commercial support.
