You mean like this?
[mlapier at mushroom ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i nvid
kmod-nvidia-304xx-304.123-3.el6.elrepo.i686
nvidia-x11-drv-304xx-304.123-1.el6.elrepo.i686
nvidia-detect-340.58-1.el6.elrepo.i686
Doesn't work. It always worked before the 6.6 update when there was a
new kernel but it didn't work with the new 6.6 kernel and it won't work
with the old kernel after the 6.6 update.
