Sometimes you need to run Nvidia proprietary drivers in various linux distributions.
I was able to run it on standard RHEL 6.0 installed as “Desktop” with the following commands:
Update the system and install the necessary packages
yum update
yum install gcc kernel-devel
reboot
Blacklist the nouveau driver
sed -i '/root=/s|$| rdblacklist=nouveau vga=791|' /boot/grub/grub.conf
echo "blacklist nouveau" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Change the initrd image:
Remove the nouveau driver and reboot:
Stop the X server and run the Nvidia installation process from command line
Enjoy
