My package mask file reads

Because I have a GEForce 3 from goodness knows when and need 96.x.
When something had ABI updates and the video driver was part of them,
the driver was updated to the new version becuase portage got the
latest 96.x drivers, which were not masked.
For you, I would recommend
>=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-174.00
Because that will get 173.14.22 if it comes out.
Yep, that would work. I knew someone would have a better idea. I was
expecting that little ~ thingy to be used tho. ;-)
Actually, that one came right out of the Gentoo nVidia Guide...
