I have not been able to figure out how the rpmfusion nvidia version
numbers relate to the kernel version numbers. So looking in the rpm
fusion web site does not help me. Was I correct to abandon the dnf
upgrade, or should I go ahead with the upgrade?
I have the 470xx driver running with x11 in FC40 in a BIOS system.
On kernel update dnf will not download new driver modules, but new
ones will be built and installed by akmods after dnf reports that the
upgrade is complete. It's best not to reboot until all this has
happened. I usually run atop to see the progress of the various jobs,
but 'systemctl list-jobs' will show when all is done.
I also already have the 470xx driver running with f40, with the 6.10.12
kernel.
I already know what the second paragraph says.
The kernel updates sometimes get ahead of the 470xx updates, or
equivalently, the 470xx updates sometimes lag behind the kernel
updates. My question is whether the 470xx version that I already have
is caught up with version 6.11.3 of the kernel that dnf wants to upgrade
my workstation to. I cannot tell from the information in the rpmfusion
web site.
This was created after a dnf upgrade and reboot. I have the nvida
driver installed but use nouveau because my main requirement is to drive
two screens, and it works. I haven't recently tried to use the full
nvidia capabilities.
Another box dual-booting with Win10 still freezes in the final stages of
a graphical boot, although I was able to perform a dnf upgrade maybe two
weeks ago after a Win10 update. All rather fragile. KDE, f40.
