[CentOS] Software Updater issue

Hey All,

Heads up!

For some reason the Software Updater thought it would be interesting for
me if it upgraded my nvidia 304 driver with the nvidia 310.32-1 driver.
  That would be nice if the 310 driver supported my crusty old GS 7600
but it doesn't.  I had to run two yum downgrade sessions to get it back
to working again.  First downgrade brought me 310.19-2, which doesn't
support my video card, in place of 310.32.  The second downgrade
restored the 304 driver.

I'm not sure about this but that seems like a bug when it thinks that
the 310 driver package is an upgrade for the 304 driver package.
