rpm -e xorg-x11-drv-voodoo
error: Failed dependencies:
        xorg-x11-drv-voodoo is needed by (installed) 
xorg-x11-drivers-7.3-2.fc9.i386

which means that if I did erase it with -nodeps, yum would just drag it 
back in with any update.

Perhaps the answer is the xorg-x11-drivers should not depend on the 
individual drivers, but only have the individual drivers depend on 
xor-x11-drivers.
