Notes for RPMForge users
Users migrating from the rpmforge dkms package are advised to uninstall the dkms-nvidia
driver before attempting to install kmod-nvidia.
There is a potential conflict between elrepo and rpmforge in that both repositories
provide the nvidia-x11-drv package. If you are using the yum priorities plugin then the
priority for elrepo and rpmforge should be set to the same value to avoid dependency

kmod-nvidia and nvidia-x11-drv. For example:
Other than that, I think I'd consult their mailing list as those folks may have more
insight how to deal with moving to their repos.
