Hi, I'm currently trying to install CentOS 7 (desktop) on a Lenovo workstation with an NVidia Quadro 2000 graphical card. Normally I know my way around NVidia cards and how to configure them either using the ELRepo drivers or those downloaded from nvidia.com. I have written a corresponding article on my blog: https://blog.microlinux.fr/nvidia-centos/ But this time it looks like I have no luck. ELRepo's nvidia-detect utility detected the 'kmod-nvidia' driver, but installing it gave no result. No X. Then I tried a manual install, blacklisting nouveau, installing the necessary build tools, etc. The driver would build OK, but again, no luck, no X. Has anybody got this card to behave under RHEL/CentOS 7 ?

I have exactly the same setup, and KDE looks like LEGO for toddlers (something like 640x480). I checked that 'nouveau' is blacklisted, built the NVidia 384.90 driver manually, rebooted, and no joy. I started a KDE neon LiveCD (with very good automatic hardware configuration) on that same workstation, and everything seems OK, resolution looks like 1280x1024 on the 19" monitor. I'm puzzled. -- Microlinux - Solutions informatiques durables 7, place de l'?glise - 30730 Montpezat Web : http://www.microlinux.fr Mail : info at microlinux.fr T?l. : 04 66 63 10 32
