Hi Pat,

I added the provides to the nvidia-x11-drv package (64-bit only):

%ifarch x86_64
# Provides for CUDA
Provides:	cuda-driver = %{version}
Provides:	cuda-drivers = %{version}
%endif


Generally I prefer to add any Requires / Provides etc to the
nvidia-x11-drv package than the kmod package as adding to the kmod
package must be done via the kmodtool script.

So you should now be able to install that dummy cuda-drivers package I
built for you.

Regards,

Phil
