Thanks, both of you, and good catch. Now I need to dig into what happened
on *my* end: the elrepo.conf was dated last summer, and I had kmod-nvidia
and nvidia-x11-drv installed... but when you folks pointed me to it, it
*only* had includepkgs=kmod-nvidia. I know I didn't do a localinstall, so
I need to figure out how I installed it, if the repo file was like that,
or if it got backed up to some in-progress repo from before I got the
install working.
