CentOS - Feb 2019 - nvidia on 7.6

As I thought - the NVIDIA log is saying "WRONG" Driver silly - use the
340xx driver.
Again - original question was "yum install kmod-nvidia-3400xx" says no
package available for elrepo  ???

Is that the command you used, or did you use "yum install
kmod-nvidia-340"?

Hi Phil, Thanks for the reply. Your correct this is OLD hardware.
Everything was working with 7.5 thought I was good to go so to speak
... So When I was starting now to migrate OLD boxes from CentOS 6 to
7.6 it wasnt working.

I can look at going "back" to using the NVIDIA binary, I had just
recently switched the kmod-nvidia. :)

I'd rather "not" use nouvue(?) tried once way back and was not
pleasant.

Thanks so much - I'll wait a few days to see if you have time to
compile, before switching back to binary. Other issue with that...
which is why kind folks suggested here to move to kmod-nvidia.


Thanks!


Jerry
