It was either this or throwing the whole workstation out of the window
altogether. I'm a very patient guy (or I wouldn't work as a sysadmin)
but even I have my limits.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I spent a few hours fiddling with
various driver versions and configurations. In the end, I simply ripped

Nicolas,

Did you play with nvidia-settings? Maybe also wipe out xorg.conf and start 
afresh.

H. 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.

I'm using the following on CentOS 7.4:

uname -r :

3.10.0-693.5.2.el7.x86_64

Model:   Quadro 2000
IRQ: 31
GPU UUID:GPU-6ecc2b2b-34ce-6e47-1e08-55389dc64680
Video BIOS:  70.06.31.02.01
Bus Type:PCIe
DMA Size:40 bits
DMA Mask:0xff
Bus Location::0f:00.0
Device Minor:0

NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  384.90  Tue Sep 19 
19:17:35 PDT 2017
GCC version:  gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-16) (GCC)

I manually built the driver - from the nvidia-installer.log :

nvidia-installer command line:
 ./nvidia-installer
 --accept-license
 --no-questions
 --silent
 --install-libglvnd

The nouveau driver is blacklisted via the boot cmdline option:

rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau

Works fine for me ...

[CentOS] CentOS 7 + NVidia Quadro 2000 graphic card

2017-11-09 Thread Nicolas Kovacs
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 ?

Cheers,

Niki
