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. mark
