[elrepo] Nvidia GeForce GTX675m - No login screen after upgrading to Centos6.4/kmod-nvidia-310.44

[John Adegbile]

Thanks for your quick response.

I've installed as suggested and the output is:

[root at acl-samsung ~]# nvidia-detect
Probing for supported NVIDIA devices...
[10de:1212] NVIDIA Corporation Device 1212
This device requires the current 310.40 NVIDIA driver (kmod-nvidia).
