Post by raffaele.fabbri » 2017/10/05 19:38:00

I have a installed Centos7 in my Asus F550L with NVIDIA GeForce 820

At start up the system show warnig about graphic card and so I'm trying to configure right drivers.
I download NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-384.90.run linux drivers from NVIDIA site
and I follow this intruction
https://www.tecmint.com/install-nvidia- ... in-linux/

at the end when on restart graphics session go on error with message "Oh no! Something has gone wrong."

I already set selinux option in disable.

somebody can suggest me what can I do to restart graphics session?

thanks in advance

Trying other times we have found that the problem in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf

before to run the command "X -configure" there is no file xorg.conf
running the command the file is created in /root/xorg.conf.new

after we have to copy file from /root/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf (/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/xorg.conf)

the system go and after reboot the gui is enabled.

Open the NVIDIA server setting to configure appear message "you do not appear be using the NVIDIA X driver. please edit your configuration file just run nvidia-xconfig as root and restart the x server."
running this command the new xorg.conf file is no correct and the GUI don't start.

If Ichange this file whit the original (the old file produced with "X -configure" ), when I reboot, the system go ok, but without use the NVIDIA drivers.

Somebody can help us?
thanks in advance
