Hello,
I am running Centos/RHEL 8 on a Dell precision M6800/6700 with a: NVIDIA
Corporation GK104GLM [Quadro K3100M]
Is there a driver for that one? or am I stuck with nouveaux ?
The kernel included in CentOS-8 (the last time I tested it), did not
properly build and run the proprietary NVIDIA drivers .. neither did the
same kernel in RHEL.
What I did was shift my workstation install to the elrepo kernel-ml
kernels (you might want kernel-lt .. it is latest long term kernel). I
can then build the latest NVIDIA drivers for my graphics card and use them.
http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml
http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-lt
I have no issues using the elrepo kernels .. those guys and gals are
outstanding. All the stuff they do is great.
My card is a 1080ti .. so I have not tried building for Quadro 3100M ..
but if NVIDIA has a linux driver for that, then it should build using
the elrepo kernels.
I was able to build/compile the drivers with
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-460.73.01.run on 4.18.0-240.22.1.el8_3.x86_64, it
gave me a warning about pkcfg, but no other warnings/errors and seem to
install, however, after booting it still didn't use that driver, but the
nouveau one
Phil Perry can tell us if the NVIDIA drivers they carry actually now
work for EL8 .. i stopped trying it after I switched kernels as they
don't carry drivers on elrepo for the kernel-ml or kernel-lt and I just
rebuild the official NVIDIA drivers manually after every kernel update.
Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
