Phil,
I tried to install this and ran into a conflict

--> Processing Conflict: 
nvidia-x11-drv-340xx-340.107-2.el7_6.elrepo.x86_64 conflicts ocl-icd
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: nvidia-x11-drv-340xx conflicts with ocl-icd-2.2.12-1.el7.x86_64

I removed ocl-icd and installed the package, but needless to say I can't 
get ocl-icd to install which means that I cant install video players, 
vlc smplayer mplayer, or  ffmpeg-libs.
