Dell Precision 7510, RHEL 6.8 and Nvidia Driver

Hello everybody.
I’m new to this forum and hope someone can help me.
I recently got a Dell laptop with NVIDIA Quadro GPU on which I installed RHEL 6.8 and to use its 3D capabilities I downloaded NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-370.28.run (but also tried with version 367 and 352) and followed all instructions but could not manage to get it working.

I always get a fatal error as you can see form a part of the Xorg.0.log:

I looked at different forums where could find similar problem but so far nothing good. I also posted similar question to RED HAT support and waiting -:(.

Any idea ?

Thanks

If I’m reading Dell’s site correctly, this is an Optimus laptop where the display is connected to the Intel integrated graphics. Please read the Red Hat documentation on setting up a “PRIME” configuration. There’s also some basic information in chapter 32: Offloading Graphics Display with RandR 1.4 in the driver README but look for a howto guide from your distribution first.
