Hello,
I am running Centos/RHEL 8 on a Dell precision M6800/6700 with a: NVIDIA Corporation GK104GLM [Quadro K3100M]
Is there a driver for that one? or am I stuck with nouveaux ?
thanks,
Ron
Have you looked at Nvidia.com? They probably have something for it unless it is truly ancient.

is that a notebook? There is a listing at nvidia.com for a K3100M at this page: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/153717/en-us

The kernel included in CentOS-8 (the last time I tested it), did not properly build and run the proprietary NVIDIA drivers .. neither did the same kernel in RHEL.
What I did was shift my workstation install to the elrepo kernel-ml kernels (you might want kernel-lt .. it is latest long term kernel). I can then build the latest NVIDIA drivers for my graphics card and use them.
http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-lt
I have no issues using the elrepo kernels .. those guys and gals are outstanding. All the stuff they do is great.
My card is a 1080ti .. so I have not tried building for Quadro 3100M .. but if NVIDIA has a linux driver for that, then it should build using the elrepo kernels.
Phil Perry can tell us if the NVIDIA drivers they carry actually now work for EL8 .. i stopped trying it after I switched kernels as they don't carry drivers on elrepo for the kernel-ml or kernel-lt and I just rebuild the official NVIDIA drivers manually after every kernel update.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

That was sort of my plan, to see and wait if things would work with later kernels. Fr now my desktop seems to be working ok-ish. When my desktop is up for over 10-12 hrs, there seem to be some flickering, windows that 'switch' focus etc, and at times the gnome desktop flat out crashes (the machine keeps running, but no gnome.
Thanks,
thank you! for letting me know.

The GK104GLM [Quadro K3100M] _should_ be supported by the latest NVIDIA driver (currently v460.67) on el8. I say _should_ as I'm not 100% sure. I'm assuming your device is as below (check the device IDs with 'pci -nn'):
[10de:11b6] NVIDIA Corporation GK104GLM [Quadro K3100M]
That device was previously listed as supported:
https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/410.66/README/supportedchip...
but I can't find it listed on the currently supported chipset's page, hence my doubt:
https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/460.67/README/supportedchip...
I'd be interested to know which driver version NVIDIA pointed you towards?

Assuming it is supported by the latest v460.67 driver, and the above omission is a mistake, ELRepo have a driver (kmod-nvidia) which should work with the el8 distro kernel.
As Johnny says above, if you use a different kernel, such as those from elrepo, you will need to install the driver directly from NVIDIA.

I MIGHT try shifting back to the main CentOS kernel and see if they have fixed the issue I was having loading NVIDIA drivers. If I ever have any spare time on my hands :)
@Johnny Hughes- what version of the nVidia drivers did you have problems with, and what were the problems? I'm just curious. I have a Latitude E7450 with an M840 chipset and I've never had problems compiling or getting them to work under stock CentOS 8 kernels.

My card is fairly standard (gtx 1060 in a workstation). The last time i tried the base CentOS 8 Linux kernel was probably early in the 8.1 time frame. I then just shifted to kernel-ml from elrepo and starting building directly from nvidia.
I have not tried to shift back.

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

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)
