error: Failed dependencies:
xorg-x11-drv-voodoo is needed by (installed)
xorg-x11-drivers-7.3-2.fc9.i386
which means that if I did erase it with -nodeps, yum would just drag it
back in with any update.
Perhaps the answer is the xorg-x11-drivers should not depend on the
individual drivers, but only have the individual drivers depend on
xor-x11-drivers.

Sorry. Now I get it. erase xorg-x11-drivers ( sound of hand slapping
forehead ).
Then take out whichever drivers you don't need.
But f9 will install xorg-x11-drivers by default?
