[elrepo] elrepo nvidia driver and latest cuda (version 9)

I have the latest elrepo nvidia driver installed on a RHEL 6 system and working well with the Cuda version 8. 

Cuda version 9 was released a while back, but I cannot upgrade to it because of conflicts with the elrepo nvidia driver: 

--> Processing Conflict: nvidia-x11-drv-384.98-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 conflicts xorg-x11-drv-nvidia 
--> Processing Conflict: 1:nvidia-kmod-384.81-2.el6.x86_64 conflicts nvidia-uvm-kmod < 1:361.00 

Error: nvidia-kmod conflicts with kmod-nvidia-384.98-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 
Error: nvidia-x11-drv conflicts with 1:xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-384.81-1.el6.x86_64 

I have not been able to locate any info on this issue, so I decided to try to post it to the mailing list. 

Below are all the info I though may help diagnose the problem. 
Please let me know if you need any additional information.

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem 
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
