I'm testing now with:
$ grep protected_packages /etc/yum.conf
protected_packages=1
$ cat /etc/yum/protected.d/drivers-nvdia.conf
kmod-nvidia
kmod-nvidia-PAE
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
Is this the final word on this subject? I've been suffering with this broken nvidia
driver problem for a couple of days now, and I didn't know I should have done
something like this. I didn't even know what the protect.d directory was for.
What should I do know to roll back to an older nvidia driver so that my machine works
until this gets fixed?
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
BTW, where would I track how and when nvidia is addressing this?
http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/44 is the only thing I know about.
