Hello,
thanks for looking in to this.
Indeed, I should have included xorg.log. It took me longer than it
should have to realize it was a "graphical issue".
Not updating could be the issue, I installed kmod-nvidia but never ran
an update with Elrepo repo enabled.
I will test that and report back.
Greetings, J.
