Re: [CentOS] [Slightly OT] video driver for NVIDIA Quadro
Hi,
so I went through the BIOS and found it under "switchable graphics".
It was turned on, checked.
What is it Optimus does, and, ... does it even matter/work in
RHEL/Centos? (the other otption has to do with the docking station
display ports. It can use it when in a docking station, which mine
usually is.
When I turned off Optimus, since it was on, to see if there is a
difference, I had turn the Docking DP otion on else nothing would work.
Also, I looked at some Centos 7 machines I still have, there is
something there kmod-nvidia, however that is not in RHEL/Centos 8
anymore? (has that to do with the issues of compiling the kernel
menioned way earlier in this thread?)
I am trying to see if switching the state of Optimus, whatever it is,
makes a difference in gnome crashing ... or not
thanks,
Ron

Re: [CentOS] [Slightly OT] video driver for NVIDIA Quadro
Hi,
I know Nvidia still supports it, their helpdesk person told me. I
don't know what optimus is, but I have 2 M6800 laptops and a M6700
SI'll see if I can find that. Someone else told me that that
RHEL/Centos 8 just has a lot less drivers included (I don't know if that
is true though)

Re: [CentOS] [Slightly OT] video driver for NVIDIA Quadro
Installation of Dell T7600 CentOS 7.6 Nvidia GPU Driver
Make sure that the Dell T7600 is attached to a network.
Install OS if required: Boot USB CentOS 7.6 distribution
Use arrow keys to position to ‘Install CentOS 7’
Enter
Use arrow keys to insert at the end of boot command
line: nouveau.modeset=0
Build CentOS 7.6 making sure that the network is
enabled during the configuration phase
Reboot making sure that the USB CentOS 7.6 distribution
is removed
Common procedure: At CentOS boot prompt enter
Use arrow keys to insert at end of line starting
‘linux16’: nouveau.modeset=0
Enter
Log in, start a terminal window and become superuser
Enter: yum -y update kernel-3.10.0-1160.11.1.el7.x86_64
Enter: cd /etc/default then edit the file grub
Change: GRUB_DEFAULT=0
Append to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX before last “:
nouveau.modeset=0
Enter: grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Enter: grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/centos/grub.cfg
Enter Browser and go to:
www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
Download Nvidia Legacy Driver 390.138 and save
*
Reboot making sure the 1160.11 kernel is selected
Log in, start a terminal window and become superuser
Enter: yum -y groupinstall “Development Tools”
Enter: yum -y install kernel-devel epel-release
Enter: systemctl isolate multi-user.target
Log in and become superuser
Change directory to where the Nvidia driver was saved
*
Enter: sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-* and answer
Yes/Overwrite to everything
Reboot making sure that the 1160.11 kernel is selected
The procedure is now complete
To check the driver is installed correctly: Log in,
start a terminal window and become superuser
Enter: lshw – numeric -C display
The configuration line should have: driver=nvidia
nvidia-settings can now be used to change display
settings
