[CentOS] Updating 7.5->7.6

I've got a user with a legacy NVidia card. I've got kmod-nvidia. Last
time
I did an update, all I did was yum update --disableexcludes. This time, it
fails, with
Error: Package: nvidia-x11-drv-304xx-304.135-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 (@elrepo)
           Requires: xorg-x11-server-Xorg <= 1.19.99
           Removing: xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.19.5-5.el7.x86_64 (@base)
               xorg-x11-server-Xorg = 1.19.5-5.el7
           Updated By: xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.20.1-5.1.el7.x86_64 (updates)
               xorg-x11-server-Xorg = 1.20.1-5.1.el7
           Available: xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.20.1-3.el7.x86_64 (base)
               xorg-x11-server-Xorg = 1.20.1-3.el7
           Available: xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.20.1-5.el7.x86_64 (updates)
               xorg-x11-server-Xorg = 1.20.1-5.el7

I'd appreciate any help understanding what this is telling me. It *looks*
like it wants to update
vidia-x11-drv-304xx-304.135-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64
with
vidia-x11-drv-304xx-304.135-5.el7.elrepo.x86_64 (or maybe 135-6)
and then it wants to replace the elrepo mods with base or updates.

Is this saying there's no update for the xorg-x11-server-Xorg (I don't
see
one) on elrepo? Does this mean I'll have to go back to the proprietary
driver?

You'd think kmod-nvidia-304xx-304.135-6.el7_6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm would put
you
into a happy place.  Can you double check that you've got elrepo enabled and
functional?

yum list nvidia-x11\* --disableexcludes=all

gives me

Also, as I think of it, I saw the same thing a week or so ago, trying to
update another system.

Is there something missing?

I think the above is pretty clear. The legacy 304.xx nvidia driver only 
supports Xorg versions up to and including 1.19. EL7.6 ships with Xorg 
1.20, so your old hardware is no longer supported on EL7 by nvidia.

Your choices are twofold:

1. Buy newer hardware that is supported.
2. Uninstall the proprietary nvidia packages and revert to using the 
nouveau driver.
