Hi List,
There are some new nvidia-x11-drv packages available in the elrepo
testing repository for el7.6:
nvidia-x11-drv-410.78-2.el7_6.elrepo.x86_64
nvidia-x11-drv-libs-410.78-2.el7_6.elrepo.x86_64
nvidia-x11-drv-libs-410.78-2.el7_6.elrepo.i686
These packages are compatible with the new libglvnd* packages that ship
with RHEL7.6.
Further, we have split the libs out into a separate nvidia-x11-drv-libs
sub-package, that is multi-arch for both x86_64 and i686. The i686 libs
package obsoletes the old nvidia-x11-drv-32bit package that shipped
32-bit libs in an x86_64 package.
If you would like to test these packages, please update with the
elrepo-testing repository enabled:
yum --enablerepo=elrepo-testing update nvidia-x11-drv
(the matching kmod-nvidia package is in the main elrepo repository)
and restart your Xorg session.
If you test, I would welcome feedback here (or on the bug tracker), even
if it's only a "works for me".
All being well, I anticipate this new package format will be rolled out
from testing to the main repo for the next upstream release.
Thanks
