Currently, windows10 is installed on main sata hdd. I'm installing centos7 to a usb thumb drive. Once everything is working, I'll reinstall centos on an external sdd and have dual boot system. The install is fine (well not really yet) (using centos7 minimal .iso) I'm able to yum update all updates and upgrade kernel. 3.10.0.862.6.3.el7. I installed gnome desktop. Currently, the bios graphics is set to hybrid graphics and secure boot is disabled. gnome was working prior to nvidia driver setup.</div><div><br></div><div>Issues I ran into, initial OS install locked up, I restarted the install, that completed.</div><div>During yum install of updates and kernel the system would freeze every now and then and then would unfreeze and I was able to input commands again at the prompt. Searching around about the freezing, I found nouveau might be the issue and to blacklist it and install nvidia drivers. The install went good, see attached output, just seems something is not right in the configuration. I have used nvidia-xconfig for xorg.conf</div><div><br></div><div><div>I'm having an issue when using startx; screen found, but none have a usable configuration.

If I set AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration, reboot, startx it locks up, I'm able to ssh into my laptop then reboot. Even with nouveau blacklisted and nvidia drivers loaded, the system still freezes momentarily (10-15 seconds) then I have control at the prompt again. This freezing happens quite a few times.</div></div><div><br></div><div>The output in nvidia.driver.txt (attached) should be ok, I just needed to fix formatting from transferring it from cent -> win.</div><div><br></div><div>Any suggestions/ideas on what I can try to get x/gnome working and also the </div><div>system freezes?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div>Doug</div></div>
