Hi All
I installed SL 7.0 in a system that contains a nVidia GK208 (NV108)
chip set. This installation does come up but the only display sizes
are 1024x768, 800x600 and 640x480.
The nouveau package that was installed as part of the installation is
“xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-1.0.10-5.el7.x86_64.rpm”.
The system message file contains;

I have looked around on the internet and it looks as though version
1.0.11-1 will support this chipset. I have not been able to locate a
“.el7.” version but there is a fedora version
“xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-1.0.11-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm”
Does anyone know where I can get an “.el7” version of 1.0.11-1 or has
anyone tried the Fedora version?
Thanks

You may wish to look into the nvidia drivers provided by the elrepo
project (yum install yum-conf-elrepo on an SL6/7 system).
