Install the Nvidia graphics card driver on CentOS

When the NVIDIA driver is installed in a newer version, the following error is prompted:

"ERROR: The Nouveau kernel driver is currently in use by your system. this driver is incompatible with the NVIDIA driver, and must be disabled before proceeding. please consult the NVIDIA driver README and your Linux distribution's documentation for details on how to correctly disable the Nouveau kernel driver."

Nouveau is an open-source project used to replace Nvidia drivers. It has better performance than Nvidia.

To redo the kernel, We need to install the necessary tools:

1 yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

The following dkms package can avoid re-installing the Nvidia driver for each kernel upgrade,

1 yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers dkms

Use the following command to obtain the video card model:

1 lspci | grep VGA

Download the driver at the following URL:

Http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx

Then add the following statement to/etc/modprobe. d/blacklist. conf.

1 blacklist nouveau

Then execute the following command

1 mv /boot/initramfs- $( uname -r).img /boot/initramfs- $( uname -r).img.bak1 dracut - v /boot/initramfs- $( uname -r).img $( uname -r)
