I've recently made the switch to CentOS 8 from 7 on my dekstop. I have two NVidia NVS-315 dual-head cards. While this works fine with my 2x2 four-head display setup, I find that videos (youtube, netflix, etc) are wavy and laggy. On CentOS 7 I had installed the nvidia drivers in place of the nouveau drivers. I've tried following the same steps on my CentOS 8 machine but have run into road-block after road-block.
I believe I got it working once, but the first time I rebooted after that, my machine was basically bricked. All I got was a black screen with a mouse cursor. I couldn't switch to another console terminal, couldn't get out of X, etc.. Since it was such a fresh install, I just blew it away and re-installed from scratch again.
So now I'm left back where I started with horrible video experience, but at least I'm on CentOS 8!
Any suggestions for installing a better driver?
Alternatively, any suggestion for a better graphics card that might be more supported?
Thanks much!
I was trying to use the following guide:
