Sorry if I pasted in > stuff to confuse. Whoa, Mark. Man, you must be tired. The fact that your machine with the 290 driver only sees the kmod-nvidia for 295 and does not see nvidia-x11-drv is a big clue. You might want to double check the includepkgs= line on the machine you originally posted about (not this latest machine), and make sure that it isn't: includepkgs=nvidia-x11-drv I can duplicate this behavior very easily, and can duplicate the reverse behavior as well, by manipulating the includepkgs= line. Here's an example run, from a RHEL 6.3 machine (same would apply to CentOS, just with a few differences in the yum output dealing with the RHN repos....): <MVNCH> Works fine. The includpkgs= line has to include all dependencies, as it really does do what the man page says it does. Try it without the includepkgs= line, or with it commented out, and see if you get different results. Thank you *so* much - this works. One oddity: originally, I'd had only includepkgs=kmod-nvidia, *not* the nvidia-x11-drv. My last try, last week, I'd added extra lines with that on two separate lines: includepkgs=kmod-nvidia includepkgs=nvidia-x11-drv Just now, following your example, I put them on one line includepkgs=nvidia-x11-drv kmod-nvidia and it worked with no problem at all. Odd. And for the guy from the elrepo team, you'll note it was *not* an elrepo problem, which is what I'd suspected, unless the repodata file's changed since Friday. mark
