Hi all,
Having issues with the Nvidia drives on Centos 6.2.
So after I do yum install kmod-nvidia and rebooting, I get no screen.
My errors;
/var/log/messages;
kernel: NVRM: The NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 4000 GPU installed in this system is kernel: NVRM: supported through the NVIDIA 96.43.xx Legacy drivers. Please kernel: NVRM: visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more kernel: NVRM: information. The 295.40 NVIDIA driver will ignore kernel: NVRM: this GPU.

[ 37.145] Fatal server error: [ 37.145] no screens found [ 37.145]
I also tried to install the Nvidia driver from there site by first disabling nouveau and running there installer but that one seemed rather unstable.
Any ideas?
Thanks in adance.

Yes. As the error message says ... You need to install the legacy driver (96xx), not the 295.40 NVIDIA driver.

Hi Akemi,
Yes i did that but a bit unstable.
Hoping some one had some insight.
Thanks for the reply though, I didn't expect any to be honest.

Can you be more specific? What do you mean by a bit unstable?
kmod-nvidia-96xx is still in the testing repo because no one has yet confirmed the package works at all.
If it's a driver related issue then you should report it to NVIDIA here attaching the appropriate nvidia-bug-report.log file:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=46678
and if it's a packaging issue you should report it here:
Hope that helps.
