kmod-nvidia-173xx

kmod-nvidia-173xx provides the NVIDIA 173xx legacy driver kernel module (nvidia.ko). It is built to depend upon the specific ABI provided by a range of releases of the same variant of the Linux kernel and not on any one specific build.

nvidia-x11-drv-173xx provides the proprietary NVIDIA 173xx legacy binary OpenGL X11 display driver files.

<pre>yum disablerepo=\* enablerepo=elrepo install kmod-nvidia-173xx nvidia-x11-drv-173xx</pre>

After installing / updating these packages, users are advised to reboot their system. Simply restarting X may not suffice, one needs to drop out of X, remove and reload the nvidia kernel module and restart X. For most end users, a reboot will be simpler ;)

Notes for users who used Nvidia's binary installer
Users who have installed the driver by running the binary installer provided by Nvidia are advised to uninstall it before attempting to install kmod-nvidia. Run the same script that was used for the installation by adding a --uninstall flag.
