 +When I tried to upgrade driver above NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-418.56.run the X server crashed upon boot (noted by message upon first login "ABRT has detected 1 problem(s). For more info run: abrt-cli list --since 1664211525"
 +
 +I re-installed the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-418.56.run file and accepted the defaults of including 32-bit libraries.  Believe I skipped DKMS as it gave an error and aborted installation.  It seems the RPM xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.20.4-18.el7_9.x86_64 is giving the problem.
