I think that nvidia-detect could be helpful even on non-stock kernels to find out if you need to use "legacy" or "non-legacy" driver :)

If you need to use a non stock kernel, you can also try to download the latest driver directly from nvidia. The nvidia official driver is very easy to install and works with almost all kernel versions. It can also be easily uninstalled too.
Make sure you have the correct one, though. I have a number of systems with older NVidia cards, and have to pick and choose the correct "legacy" driver.

I installed the elrepo kmod-nvidia and also the nvidia-detect and modules (see below).
I had X working with the 3.10 from Centos - but video was freezing. SO I thought I would try the elrepo kernel. I installed that and X does not come up?
How do I re-make the nvidia module for 4.14.5 kernel? I want to make sure the kmod kernel did it. I 'm thinking it did not.
lspci | grep VGA says GT218
Or what do I look at now to see why X is not coming up?
Thanks,
Jerry
