Thanks Dion,
ok now where is "download drivers"? I've searched everywhere... looks
like a Gnome desktop so perhaps I don't have the "download drivers"
package installed? I've gone through all the menu's.
Is there a command line instruction or a yum package for this?
Anyway still working on it.
Thanks.
Ben

Hi all,
got a new computer with a Inno3D GF GTX 570 VaporFreeze...
I'm envious.
It comes with windows drivers but I am currently loading CentOS on
the box... or any Linux distro that could work with it.
(I also want it to be able to do virtualisation of other OS's... so
it has 32GB RAM which is nice.)
Just having trouble finding drivers or how to go about getting this
card recognised.
If Centos doesn't offer packaged nvidia drivers, go to download
drivers. Choose something like Geforce 9 series, Linux 32 bit (or 64
bit if that is what your distro is) and click download.
After its down you might have to change its properties and then
execute the binary. After that it should be all self explanatory.
Note: its way better to use drivers that are managed by the OS. So a
Centos package that bundles the Nvidia driver is likely to upgrade
better in the future. Well thats how it seems on my distro.
It seems to only do generic card and 1024x768 whereas it should do
1920x1080
Anyway any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben
