Thanks for your time and all of your support.<br>
<br>

Below are the types of vga that are running on my laptop<br>
lspci | grep -i vga<br>

I have been doing some research and I found out that since I
installed CentOS on the laptop I with the basic drivers it added
"nomodeset" as the kernel argument, therefore it was always load
the VESA driver with 1280x1024 screen resolution. Once I removed
"nomodeset" I get the 1920x1080 resolution, however I am only
getting the nouveau driver and not nvidia drivers.<br>
<br>
Below is the what my grub.conf looks like and it will still load
the nouveau drivers. If I use the xorg.conf I will not boot into
the GUI as I will just get a blank screen.<br>
<br>
# grub.conf generated by anaconda<br>

# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to
this file<br>
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that<br>

<br>
The nouveau driver is also blacklisted in the
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf<br>
<br>
cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf<br>
# ELRepo.org (<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://elrepo.org">http://elrepo.org</a>)<br>
# Blacklist file for the nouveau driver in el6<br>
# If the nouveau continues to load, run as root:<br>
# dracut -f /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)<br>
<br>
blacklist nouveau<br>
<br>
I have also uninstalled the nouveau driver but I am still booting
into the nouveau driver. The only why that I can completely
blacklist the nouveau driver is to use nomodeset to the kernel,
however I will be back to square one as I will get the VESA driver
with 1280x1024 resolution.<br>

Earl,<br>
<br>
I have these lines in grub.conf<br>
<br>
nouveau.modeset=0 rdblacklist=nouveau<br>
<br>
Did you also install the virtualgl package from:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.virtualgl.org/">http://www.virtualgl.org/</a><br>
I need to add this as a requirement to the package.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
