A short while ago, I did my weekly patches.  After rebooting, only one monitor is displaying anything, and then with a large, wide font.  I saw no indication of trouble during the "dnf upgrade". The boot messages go by fast, but I think I saw something about a missing module, and nouveau being used.

I'm not a sys.admin., and the display is very limited.  What's the cause of these problems, and how do I fix things?

Try running "sudo akmods" and see if there are any errors.

I've rebooted to the previous kernel.  Does that matter?  Running under that older kernel, I get this:
-----
-bash.1[~]: akmods

Hint: Some kmods were ignored or failed to build or install.
You can try to rebuild and install them by by calling
'/usr/sbin/akmods --force' as root.

1. Do I need to re-do this under the new kernel?
2. Should I do what the output above says?

In my earlier reply to Samuel, my questions were vague.  I was intending to ask if it mattered whether I ran "akmods" with the new kernel or the older one. I booted back into the newest kernel (installed by the "dnf upgrade" run around midday today) and reran the "akmods".  Here is the output:
------
-bash.1[~]: akmods

Before today's patches, the "dnf upgrade" handled everything, including the kernel and the nvidia-470xx.  Also, I do not reboot after the "dnf upgrade" until about a minute after I see on ksysguard that the compiling of the driver is done.  If I do the "/usr/sbin/akmods --force" suggested by "akmods", will that mess up future handling of kernel and nvidia-470xx by "dnf upgrade"?  I hope y'all understand that I do not want to mess that up!
