I would definitely advise you *not* to do that. As someone pointed out in this thread, the nvidia-provided driver can mess with some system libs. The elrepo-provided one does not, and if it did you'ld know about it as rpm would detect a conflict. Having the driver in an rpm is a huge plus. ... ah, I see in a later email you went the elrepo way, well done! Note that there are now 4 branches of the nvidia driver (3 legacy + latest), each supporting different devices. To know which branch you need, simply install nvidia-detect from elrepo and run it. http://elrepo.org/tiki/nvidia-detect _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
