Any suggestions?

There are multiple nvidia drivers in Elrepo, depending on the model of video card. Install and run nvidia-detect to find out which driver you need; just installing the "kmod-nvidia" package is not guaranteed to give you a working driver.

I used nvidia-detect, and installed kmod-nvidia. Even then, the previous installation ran kmod-nvidia with success on twin monitors.

This might have to do with the NVidia update, explained on the elrepo pages.

You may have an older card that will require the 340xx versions of the various NVidia tools.
