The latest nvidia driver 8762 does not seem to work.
The card is not recognized.

Where is the card not recognized? Please provide an nvidia-bug-report.log that captures this problem.

Thanks,

It is not recognized by the os and uses:

BoardName "VESA driver (generic)"

It is not an option under the display gui manager

attached is the log.

The BoardName parameter is an arbitrary field. You could enter 'LLAMAS' in there, and it wouldn't have any impact on how the driver works and identifies your videocard.

If you're referring to a "the display gui manager" that Redhat ships, then you should report that bug to Redhat, however their tools are generally unaware of the nvidia X driver.

According to the installer log that you attached (which is not the same as an nvidia-bug-report.log), the driver was successfully installed. The driver would not have installed if a compatible, supported videocard couldn't be detected in your system.

Please see the NVIDIA driver README for more information on how to configure X with the nvidia X driver.

Thanks,
