Note, first of all I haven't actually updated, I'm just running "yum update" to see what conflicts, if any, I get so I can be prepared when the final 7.7 release happens.
I've traditionally used the nvidia packages from elrepo, but recently enabled rpmfusion (back when I started using 7.x, I disabled rpmfusion because it took them a looooong time to get a EL7 repository up).
I use the priority plugin in yum, and have elrepo at priority 50 and rpmfusion at priority 60, so the elrepo nvidia packages should "win", but yum seems to be confused about which packages to use.
So now when doing yum update (with CR enabled) I get this long list of dependency issues regarding the nvidia packages. I don't see any reason to switch to the rpmfusion packages, elrepo seems to do a good job of packaging and keeping them up to date:

Thanks in advance for advice!

This is an artefact of mixing elrepo and rpmfusion. I'd suggest you stick to one or the other, but not enable both at the same time.
What does it look like if you just disable the rpmfusion repo?
yum update --diaablerepo=rpmfusion
Do things look more sane now?
Phil, can youclarify a bit for me pls?
I was under the impression that the priorities feature of yum was for the specific purpose of controlling the order in which repos were used for updates, etc.
I have elrepo set with a lower number (40) than rpmfusion (50), so why wouldn't yum be prevented from installing files from rpmfusion in preference to those from elrepo?
I've used the elrepo nvidia drivers for some years and been pleased with the level of service you provide. For free, yet! :)
thanks in advance!
