Re: yum update prob with nvidia-x11-drv-304xx
The 304 driver series is no longer maintained by Nvidia and has become incompatible with 7.6 because we are now at xorg-x11-server-Xorg = 1.20:
Uninstall nvidia-x11-drv-304xx and use nouveau or get another graphics card.
Code: Select all
Requires: xorg-x11-server-Xorg <= 1.19.99
Re: yum update prob with nvidia-x11-drv-304xx
That may be true but ELRepo still supply a kmod-nvidia304 package that installs on 7.6.
trevor14smith you need to enable the elrepo repo in yum to pick up the latest kmod-nvidia-304xx.x86_64 package:

The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: yum update prob with nvidia-x11-drv-304xx
See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/324693 for a description of the problem. That's why nvidia-x11-drv-304xx requires xorg-x11-server-Xorg <= 1.19.99 and doesn't work with xorg-x11-server-Xorg >= 1.20.

I did revert back to the nouveau driver - with NO problems.
Full yum update successful...

So, from #elrepo on freenode IRC, the current kmod-nvidia-304xx.x86_64-304.135-6.el7_6.elrepo is only available so that people can continue to run it if they must. It will mean that you can run the 7.6 kernel but would need you to stick with the old, out of date xorg 1.19 packages from 7.5.
Best advice is to ditch it and use nouveau or get a newer card.
