Is there some way to make dkms NOT try to install/load a driver?

  mark, with an old NVidia card that is *NOT* supported
         by anything newer than 174, and *certainly* not
         by the "generic" xorg x11 nvidia driver

why dkms? use nvidia-x11-drv-173xx and kmod-nvidia-173xx from elrepo, the kmod is kabi-tracking.

That's the one I think I'm using. Somehow, when I did my most recent update, to kernel 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5, or whenever it did an X update, I lose track, it installed dkms-nvidia-x11-drv. I want to prevent that update from occurring in the future... and I may need to do it on some users' systems, also with older nvidia cards.
