Hello, that solved the issue. I'm now running Centos6.4 with package kmod-nvidia-304xx. and I tried nvidia--detect as well: -bash-4.1# nvidia-detect Probing for supported NVIDIA devices... Found: [10de:0247] NVIDIA Corporation C51 [GeForce Go 6100] This device requires the NVIDIA legacy 304.xx driver (kmod-nvidia-304xx). Thanks for helping me out. Greetings, J. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
