My package mask file reads

Because I have a GEForce 3 from goodness knows when and need 96.x.
When something had ABI updates and the video driver was part of
them, the driver was updated to the new version becuase portage got
the latest 96.x drivers, which were not masked.
For you, I would recommend
>=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-174.00
Because that will get 173.14.22 if it comes out.
Yep, that would work. I knew someone would have a better idea. I
was expecting that little ~ thingy to be used tho. ;-)
Actually, that one came right out of the Gentoo nVidia Guide...

That guide most likely wasn't around when I started masking nvidia
packages. I sort of been around a good while here. Feel like dirt
sometimes.
