After looking at the recommended web site, I did the uninstall,
and then ran:
yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo install kmod-nvidia nvidia-x11-
drv 2>&1 | tee el.log
I got:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Error getting repository data for elrepo, repository not found
It seems that there may be another step.
Thanks for your help.
Mike.
