hi all,
i am using ElRepo to install my nvidia driver as i have heard its the best way to do it rather than running the .run script that nvidia website provides
https://elrepo.org/tiki/nvidia-detect
but when i run "yum install kmod-nvidia" i run into this package conflict
--> Processing Conflict: nvidia-x11-drv-340xx-340.107-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 conflicts xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: nvidia-x11-drv-340xx conflicts with 2:xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-384.111-1.el7.x86_64
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
im researching into the error myself but if anyone can help me out i would be much appreciated
cheers,
rob

Re: nvidia package conflicts
Did you previously install the proprietary driver from Nvidia (the .run file)?
If so, did you remove the previous install of the proprietary driver from Nvidia first? (as I recall, you re-run the ".run" file but with a 'switch' that will peacefully back-out the install.) It's been years, so I can't quote you the exact command.
That said, did you install & run 'nvidia-detect' which will tell you what driver to install?

Re: nvidia package conflicts
found out the problem -
i removed the package and also as i was doing a "yum install kmod-nvidia" it was installing the rpmfusion version so i made it only look for the elrepo
yum remove -y nvidia-x11-drv-340xx-340.107-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64
yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo install kmod-nvidia

Re: nvidia package conflicts
Probably wise to edit the .repo file for the one you don't want to use and add an exclude= to stop it from being used at all.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
