You will want to add ELRepo to your machine and install the these two packages from there: yum install kmod-nvidia nvidia-x11-drv Once you do that, you will have the nvidia control panel in "System => Administration" in the Gnome Menu signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Oh, right. Bet he's been stuck with the nouveau driver. You really want to replace that, unless you've got a smaller monitor, and/or only use one monitor. The NVidia control panel is much better. mark "still annoyed with loosing system-config-display, or x86config" ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Just Stuck
OK, I did the deal and I am in the process of upgrading/migrating from CentOS 5.8 x86_64 to CentOS 6.2 x86_64. But, I'm stuck with a gnome GUI that only sees 1024x768. Under CentOS 5.8 it saw 1920x1080 (without much work from me). The command I was used to , system-config-display, is gone and I've read that xrandr is the replacement. I can't find a usage document on this command. The basic description of the hardware involved is: nVidia GT 7300 video card Viewsonic 24" monitor I don't have the exact specs for this hardware, but I can post it later if needed. I've run the following command: xrandr -q And sometimes it returns a list of modes that range from 5 entries to 15 entries. Any help will be appreciated!
