I have not done this for a while but you can automate the installation of the proprietary Nvidia driver by providing appropriate flags. The following command worked when I tested: sh ./NVIDIAxxxxx.run -a -q -N --ui=none Others posted this: sh ./NVIDIAxxxxx.run --no-network -s -K -n Once you find the way to get the installalation working without human intervention, you can put it in a place like /etc/rc.local : if [ ! -e /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko ]; then echo "Installing the proprietary NVIDIA driver." /full/path/to/ NVIDIAxxxxx.run --no-network -s -K -n fi This will compile and install the driver each time the kernel is updated.

Any further ideas? _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
