I have a Quadro P2000 GPU that I’m using on Rocky 9.3 with KDE. After driver install the console boots and I login but then I get a black screen and it goes back to login. Googling seems to indicate this is common for other distros but I found no good fix for Rocky.
Here is how I installed the nvidia drivers:
dnf config-manager --add-repo https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/rhel9/x86_64/cuda-rhel9.repo
dnf install kernel-devel-$(uname -r) kernel-headers-$(uname -r)
dnf install nvidia-driver nvidia-settings
dnf install cuda-driver
I can do a Ctrl-Alt-F3 on the console and login with the same user and run startx and everything works fine. Using nvidia-settings shows the GPU and nothing seems amiss.
Can anyone shed some light?
