Does CentOS 8.1 support OLDER generate NVIDIA ? Like NVIDIA Corporation GF119M [GeForce GT 520M]
I'm looking for hardware acceleration H264 type support.
Thanks,
Jerry

Hi Jerry,
I don't know if your card is supported natively considering it an old model. The default module for NVIDIA GPU is nouveau but I remove it due to low performances. I have a 1050ti and currently using rpmfusion-nonfree for NVIDIA driver to avoid problem every kernel update using NVIDIA "package". Try to install rpmfusion packages and try.
Hope that helps.

As far as I know CentOS (i.e. RHEL) never supported accelerated nVidia drivers because they are all closed source. Non-accelerated nVidia drivers are provided by the nouveau packages.
The accelerated proprietary drivers are available from rpmfusion, but with old cards you have to be careful which version you install as nVidia are very quick to drop "old" cards from their most recent drivers. There are packages that integrate with yum/dnf to make the version selection automatic.
You can, of course, download the drivers directly from nVidia, but you then have to manage the kernel modules yourself when the kernel is updated.
