I got the DKMS-system working and now have the Nvidia-drivers v173.08 installed (using rpmforge as suggested previously). Unfortunately this particular driver version gives me screen artifacts so as to make the screen more or less unreadable.
Nvidia's proprietary drivers are now up to v180.44 and this version is fine
with my test system.
I really like the DKMS-system, as it enables me to keep kernel and
gfx-drivers up-to-date on our course-lab computers doing 3D-molecular
modeling. However if I can't make use of newer, and better, drivers this
whole thing is borked for me... 8-/
My question is who updates those drivers, as the v173.08 Nvidia drivers are
now almost a year old? Would there be any other good repo with more current
drivers suitable for use with DKMS and CentOS?
The repos I found are tagged with PCLinux, Mandriva and Ubuntu to name
a few.
I'm not quite sure these rpms would work with CentOS and the dkms install
there.
Any hints appreciated. Thanks.
