[CentOS] C7 and NVIDIA driver

[Alessandro Baggi]

Hi Fred,
I tried also elrepo driver but system hangs.  I'm using a GTX 1050 ti.

The only way I found to got the gpu correctly working is using elrepo ml
kernel.

I tried with an old geforge gt 9500 without any problem.

I don't know if this is an nvidia driver issue or other
