I just went to install kmod-nvidia on a 64-bit CentOS 6.2 system... and enabling elrepo, yum can't find it. There's a page for it, but that was last updated last year, and there are also references to packages for older Nvidia cards, but not the current.
What do I not know?

You seem to have missed the fact that Nvidia sucks :)
At least on our elrepo mirror site there are recent kmod-nvidia packages. The Package kmod-nvidia-295.59-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm is just a few days old. Maybe your yum configuration went bad?

I have no control over Nvidia. It's a very popular maker of cards. Oh, and the AMD/ATI is even more of a pain to get and install drivers....

Dunno why it would. [elrepo] name=ELRepo.org Community Enterprise Linux Repository - el6 baseurl=http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el6/$basearch/ mirrorlist=http://elrepo.org/mirrors-elrepo.el6
And the same for testing, kernel, and extras. Did they change the repository names?

Ok, build the driver using the proprietary package, and he's back up.
Well, *after* I ran nvidia-xconfig, since there was no xorg.conf, and nothing in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, which created /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Now that he's up, which was my highest priority, I'm back to looking around. I did a yum clean all, then yum --enablerepo=elrepo list *nvidia*, and see * elrepo: mirror.symnds.com so this was what the mirrorlist came up with. That there's something screwy there.
So I just pointed my browser there, and found elrepo there under distributions/elrepo. Anyone got any ideas why it finds that it's there, but yum doesn't see the actual repo (and yes, the kmod-nvidia packages are there)?

Just a thought, have you tried flushing yum's metadata? I have run across a couple of instances where yum seems to get a bit... retentive and won't retrieve new metadata for one or more repositories. I usually run "yum clean metadata" or "yum clean all", then re-try the operation. Unless it is something *I* have boogered badly it usually works.
Of course, YMMV!

Please post the output from:
cat /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo
and
yum list *kmod-nvidia*
thanks.
PS - This query would really be better placed on the elrepo users mailing lists rather than the general CentOS mailing lists.

Y'know, I appreciate any and all help, but I'm beginning to feel those trying to help haven't actually *read* my previous posts. Jay suggested I do a yum clean all, when I already said I'd done that; Ned's asking for what the repo looks like, when I posted the top bit and said the rest of the entries were the same....
Repeating my original post: ### Name: ELRepo.org Community Enterprise Linux Repository for el6 ### URL: http://elrepo.org/

and the entries for elrepo-testing, elrepo-kernel, and elrepo-extras are the same.
PS - This query would really be better placed on the elrepo users mailing lists rather than the general CentOS mailing lists.
But the real question not about elrepo, which clearly *has* kmod-nvidia, but why yum can't find the repo, and that is on target for this list.

Your attitude doesn't make it easy for folks to help you. So far you haven't actually provided any information that might be useful in determining the issue.
Repeating my original post: ### Name: ELRepo.org Community Enterprise Linux Repository for el6 ### URL: http://elrepo.org/

and here we see you have made modifications to the config file. I know, because I wrote the config file.
and the entries for elrepo-testing, elrepo-kernel, and elrepo-extras are the same.
and perhaps it would have been better to simply provide what was asked for rather than making yet more assumptions.

The real question is why the elrepo repository is not working as intended for you. TBH I'm past caring as I have better things to do than have you waste my time when I try to help. Please don't bother subscribing to elrepo mailing lists.
Thanks.

The problem is that you do not ONLY need kmod-nvidia ... you also need "nvidia-x11-drv" from elrepo ... however, you only have "includepkgs=kmod-nvidia" in your config, so the requirements of "nvidia-x11-drv" can not be met. If you add "nvidia-x11-drv" to your includepkgs line, it should work fine.

Hey, Johnny, catching up on last week? I'd added that, then it *seemed* to be the case that if I had two separate lines of includepkgs, it only saw one. As soon as I had both on one line, it saw them.
Unfortunately, there's something odd between my user's machine and CentOS and kmod-nvidia - he started getting weird messages he'd never seen before, so I had to uninstall it (after all that work), and go back to building using the proprietary installer.
*sigh*

That's how it works. You have to put everything on one line.
