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

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.
