Centos 7 and geforce 7025 ?

Post by gegora » 2018/10/19 18:25:30

Hello everybody,

for a long time, sometimes I use centos. But to ask for a sign is the support for the old integrated GeForce 7025 card? My computer have this graphics card. Can I use CentOS 7?

You'll need to look at the nvidia website to find out what version of the driver last supported that card. Once you have this information you can check to see if the ELRepo yum repository provides a legacy kmod-nvidiaXXX (where XXX is the version of the driver that last supported that card). If they do then you should be OK.

Alternatively, if you just want a working display and are not too concerned by the performance of the card then perhaps the built-in 'nouveau' opensource driver will work for you.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Install CentOS 7 first. Once installed use the ELRepo http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php Getting Started section. Now you can use yum to install the package if you actually need it (perhaps the built in driver is "good enough").

I believe the 304 drivers series has reached EOL.
