Might or might not without an update from nVidia or a patch from
RPMfusion.
Linux kernel APIs and BPIs are not guaranteed to be stable across
versions, and proprietary developers often need to race to release
compatible updates when new kernel versions come out. nVidia and VMware
are commonly used packages that are frequently affected. Kernel
developers don't have much sympathy for proprietary developers (to put
it kindly), so breakage is not uncommon.
