ITDS specifically does not support graphics drivers that are not part of the standard operating system.  If you want to replace the CentOS 7 support noveau driver with the proprietary Nvidia driver (for example), you are now responsible for any graphics configuration on your machine.  ITDS is not responsible for supporting non-standard graphics drivers.  When you replace the noveau driver with the Nvidia driver, special steps are required to verify the noveau driver gets blacklisted.  Also, each kernel update will require you to rebuild the Nvidia kernel module.  This is a non-standard configuration and is not covered under central support, because of the relationship between updated kernels and patching policy, the manual process of rebuilding the Nvidia kernel module with each kernel update, and the reboot policy.  If you wish to install the Nvidia driver, you need to have a documented procedure in place regarding how often you update the kernel, when you reboot the kernel, and when you rebuild the Nvidia kernel module after you reboot into a new kernel.
