Centos 6 comes with the nouveau which doesn’t work very well for my needs and the Nvidia driver works better. So heres the step to install kmod-nvidia as root.

  1. run “rpm -Uvh http://elrepo.org/elrepo-release-6-4.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm”
  2. run “yum install kmod-nvidia nvidia-x11-drv nvidia-x11-drv-32bit”
  3. reboot the system

You may need to black list the nouveau driver if that does not work.
Edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst and append the following to the end of the kernel line:
rdblacklist=nouveau
