Well, kmod-nvidia96xx/173 and the matching nvidia*kernel*latest can simply be nuked from the repos as they are Cauldron only packages So it leaves theese: dkms-nvidia96xx nvidia96xx-devel nvidia96xx-doc-html x11-driver-video-nvidia96xx dkms-nvidia173 nvidia173-cuda nvidia173-devel nvidia173-doc-html x11-driver-video-nvidia173 I guess the dkms-nvidia96xx/173 packages should be obsoleted by kernel, and the x11-driver-video-nvidia96xx/173 should be obsoleted by x11-driver-video-nouveau. Hmmm, do we need triggers to handle gl.conf for nvidia like we need for fglrx ? Anssi, wdyt ? > I don't know anything about nvidia but internet says 173 and 96xx are > not compatible with x11-server 1.11 > Compatibility with 1.10 was added in the latest version, in August last > year, 6 months after 1.10 was released, and a week before 1.11 was > released.

It does not really seem like nVidia will support them, but I can be wrong... Anssi ? -- Thomas
