Uncompressing NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86_64 430.50
WARNING: nvidia-installer was forced to guess the X library path
'/usr/lib64' and X module path '/usr/lib64/xorg/modules'; these
paths were not queryable from the system. If X fails to find the
NVIDIA X driver module, please install the `pkg-config` utility and
the X.Org SDK/development package for your distribution and
reinstall the driver.
