How to install Nvidia Driver on CentOS

So, I installed CentOS yesterday and I never expected but installing it was a pretty good experience. Since, its mostly used as a server, it asks you in the beginning what kind of work this machine would be doing - Servers(dns/http etc.), virtualization or others.

How to install Nvidia driver on a Xen kernel, CentOS 5.5(Final)

Written on October 1st, 2010 at 21:50 pm by shredder12

We have already discussed the installation of Nvidia driver on CentOS. But this method only applies to regular kernels. Xen, the virtual machine monitor, requires you to install a modified linux kernel and guess what, nVidia officially doesn't support it. The regular installation is aborted when this kernel is detected and working without the driver is not possible because the performance degradation is unbearable(at least on my system). So, after some searching and trying out different methods, I finally found this work around to make nvidia drivers work on Xen kernels.

Just read a mail from Alberto Milone, where he mentions the warning issued by NVIDIA that the drivers 195.36.08 and 195.36.03 might be affected by the same GPU fan speed issues which were detected earlier in the windows drivers. You might not face any troubles with it but there have been a few reports so its better to be careful. The problem might take a while to resolve, so its better to take the measures suggested by Nvidia and Alberto Milone(for Ubuntu). Here I have discussed those measures.
