[elrepo] Dual boot rhel 7.5 - gui not starting

[John Adegbile]

Hello,

I am struggling a bit to get a GUI installation completed on my MSI GS63VR
laptop. It comes with windows 10 and I have dual booted with RHEL 7.5 . I
have completed the rhel installation and have installed the nvidia drivers
from elrepo.

I can't get the GUI to work though. Would someone kindly be able to give me
some pointers as to where I'm going wrong? I have enabled default
graphical.target via systemctl but the GUI does not launch. The error I get
when I attempt to run startx manually is:

*[  1740.462] (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.*
*Fatal server error:*
*[  1740.462] (EE) no screens found(EE) *
*[  1740.463] (EE) *

*Output of lspci is:*
*00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 591b (rev 04)*
*01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP106M [GeForce GTX
1060 Mobile] (rev a1)*

*Output of nvidia-detect is*:
*Probing for supported NVIDIA devices...*
*[10de:1c20] NVIDIA Corporation GP106M [GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile]*
*This device requires the current 390.59 NVIDIA driver kmod-nvidia*
*[8086:591b] Intel Corporation Device 591b*


*RPMs installed:*
*nvidia-x11-drv-390.59-1.el7_5.elrepo.x86_64*
*yum-plugin-nvidia-1.0.2-1.el7.elrepo.noarch*
*kmod-nvidia-390.59-1.el7_5.elrepo.x86_64*
*nvidia-detect-390.59-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64*


*uname -a:*
*3.10.0-862.3.2.el7.x86_64*


Thanks in advance
