Announcing the release of an updated nvidia-detect package for all
distro/arch's to the main elrepo repositories.

http://elrepo.org/tiki/nvidia-detect

This release changes the default output to a more terse output of only
the driver package name. For example:

$ nvidia-detect
kmod-nvidia

Because nvidia-detect outputs the package name on RHEL based systems, it
may be
used in the following way to install the correct NVIDIA driver for your
system:

# yum install $(nvidia-detect)


Previous verbose output may be restored by using the verbose (-v) flag:

$ nvidia-detect -v
Probing for supported NVIDIA devices...
[10de:0fc1] NVIDIA Corporation GK107 [GeForce GT 640]
This device requires the current 346.47 NVIDIA driver kmod-nvidia

All users of this package are recommended to update to the latest version:

yum update nvidia-detect


Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
