By default Linux may install and use the wrong driver for nvidia GPUs/ and Graphics Cards. These may need to be disabled before the NVidia driver can be installed.

Nvidia Will offer to attempt to balcklist them itself. This didn't work when I tried, but it may be worth attempting.

== Disabling a driver ==

===Blacklist the driver Centos ===

edit the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf:

<syntaxhighlight>
blacklist nouveau
</syntaxhighlight>

edit /etc/grub.conf and add the following argument:

<syntaxhighlight>
rdblacklist=nouveau
</syntaxhighlight>

Reboot the systems and install the Nvidia Driver.

==List of know wrong Drivers==

*nouveau
*nouveau
*lbm-nouveau
*nvidia-173
*nvidia-96
