I've got a user with a legacy NVidia card. I've got kmod-nvidia. Last time I did an update, all I did was yum update --disableexcludes.

I'd appreciate any help understanding what this is telling me. It *looks* like it wants to update vidia-x11-drv-304xx-304.135-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 with vidia-x11-drv-304xx-304.135-5.el7.elrepo.x86_64 (or maybe 135-6) and then it wants to replace the elrepo mods with base or updates.
Is this saying there's no update for the xorg-x11-server-Xorg (I don't see one) on elrepo? Does this mean I'll have to go back to the proprietary driver?
You'd think kmod-nvidia-304xx-304.135-6.el7_6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm would put you into a happy place. Can you double check that you've got elrepo enabled and functional?
I would have thought so, but yum list nvidia-x11* --disableexcludes=all
gives me Installed Packages nvidia-x11-drv-304xx.x86_64 304.135-1.el7.elrepo @elrepo Available Packages nvidia-x11-drv.x86_64 410.78-2.el7_6.elrepo elrepo nvidia-x11-drv-304xx-32bit.x86_64 304.135-1.el7.elrepo elrepo nvidia-x11-drv-32bit.x86_64 410.78-1.el7_6.elrepo elrepo nvidia-x11-drv-340xx.x86_64 340.107-1.el7.elrepo elrepo nvidia-x11-drv-340xx-32bit.x86_64 340.107-1.el7.elrepo elrepo nvidia-x11-drv-390xx.x86_64 390.87-1.el7_5.elrepo elrepo nvidia-x11-drv-390xx-32bit.x86_64 390.87-1.el7_5.elrepo elrepo nvidia-x11-drv-libs.i686 410.78-2.el7_6.elrepo elrepo nvidia-x11-drv-libs.x86_64 410.78-2.el7_6.elrepo elrepo
Also, as I think of it, I saw the same thing a week or so ago, trying to update another system.
Is there something missing?
