+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 ?

+
+It does not really seem like nVidia will support them, but I can be wrong...

+Anssi ?
