If you installed it directly from nvidia, you would need to boot to runlevel 3 and rerun the NVIDIA*.run script to build against the new kernel. If you are using the one from elrepo, not sure if they have a new one yet. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I have recompiled the NVIDIA binary driver. So graphics comes up - just when I click on the user - it restarts. Jerry On Wed, Sep 13, 2017 at 4:40 PM, Jerry Geis <jerry.geis at gmail.com> wrote:> I am running the propriatry NVIDIA driver 384.69 for GT 720 support. > > Jerry > >
if I do "init 3" to exit graphics. then run startx - it does not start - but the only message (no errors) is Server terminated successfully. Jerry

All you have is a binary compiled at NVIDIA, and small piece of code for interface between that driver and kernel. This is what you are recompiling when doing that with NVIDIA binary driver: interface between driver and kernel. You phrase made my day, thank you!

ELRepo updated the kmod-nvidia (and related) package? ?s as soon as RHEL 7.4 came out. :-)? ?Akemi?

The ELrepo team does a great job with this driver; unless you have a compelling need to rebuild it yourself (I hesitate to say 'recompile' as, well, there's very little to actually compile) you should investigate using the ELrepo.org modules that make these sorts of updates much easier.? Thanks ELrepo for the modules; thanks CentOS project for the rebuilt OS. The ELrepo nvidia driver handles the nouveau disabling as well; it's seamless, and works.? The only caveat is when your card goes to the legacy driver, at which time you'll have to install the legacy version; ELrepo builds those too.

With Nvidia's script, you need to run it upon every kernel update.? ?Akemi?
