What did I miss? Thanks,

Hi Jerry,
I removed the kmod-nvidia-340xx legacy driver package from elrepo
because it was not compatible with the new libglvnd packages in el7.6.
In order for it to work, I'll need to update the package, and I just
haven't found the time to get around to it yet. I was kinda hoping that
since the 340xx legacy driver branch is old now, and support for it ends
at the end of this year, we could get away with dropping it if no one
was using it.
So, until I get around to updating it, your choices are to use the
native nouveau driver or use the NVIDIA installer from nvidia's website
to install the driver. Is there any reason you can't use the native
nouveau driver and have to use the nvidia driver? I can't imagine 3D
acceleration is of much concern to you given you're running 10 year old
hardware that was entry level when it was first released.
I'll see if I can find some time this weekend to fix the elrepo package
and get it reinstated into the repository.
Phil
