Graphics Students -- I came in today (Saturday) and reinstalled the 
NVIDIA 64 bit graphics drivers on all of the systems in CSC lab 200 
(except for the ones that are marked for you to not use).  I personally 
tested compiling and running OpenGL code on each of these systems and 
they work perfectly.  These systems all have NVidia Quadro K620 graphics 
cards -- and perform very well.  I was getting around 300 frames per second.

Note -- the default boot for these systems is set to Windows.  When you 
reboot them you will need to scroll up to the FIRST CentOS installation 
at the top of the boot screen.  This will load CentOS 6.10 which is the 
new kernel upon which I compiled the graphics drivers.  If you don't do 
this, you will most likely be stuck with a blue/white bar along the 
bottom of the screen.

So -- you now have 13 systems available for you to use 24/7.   I will 
try to get the other systems online later next week.

If you want to use the GCC 6.4.0 compiler suite  on these systems let me 
know and I'll help you configure your .bash_profile

Stay marginally safe out there and code on...
