Yeah I am now finding that out. What we were really hoping for was for
it to look at the MythDora repo and not ATrpms but apparently that
comes first so hence the new kernel download. What needs to be stated
now in the yum script is to use only the MythDora repo and not ATrpms
like so

# yum --disablerepo=atrpms install nvidia-graphics9755

This will still pull in one library file of another version such as
9631 or something but that can be easily fixed by removing this. A
statement on the forum maybe in order for this headache.
