If you remember what the app was, you could try 'ldd </path/to/app>' to see what specific libraries it wants, then use 'dnf provides ...' on those components, but there could be conflicts. Does the exact error message say something more useful than "can't access OpenGL"?
Thanks Patrick, I'll check that out. In the KDE menus, under category multimedia there is an entry called "Videos", which I thought was installed as part of installing Fedora. The message it produces is "Unable to initialise Opengl support".
I'll check the menu entry and try to figure out what it is trying to do.
I've had a look and the package in question is "Totem". Using the ldd command it listed around 30 or so libraries all of which seem to be installed in terms of it shows a path for all of them except for linux-vdso.so.1,
which when I issue the command "dnf provides */linux-vdso.so.1" it says no match found. I did a search for that library and found an entry that said there is no physical file, it is a virtual file provided by the kernel to every application that loads.
rpm -qa \*opengl\* gives me the following:
rpm -qa \*opengl\*
libglvnd-opengl-1.7.0-5.fc41.x86_64
python3-pyopengl-3.1.7-8.fc41.x86_64
libglvnd-opengl-1.7.0-5.fc41.i686
qemu-ui-opengl-9.1.2-2.fc41.x86_64
I've done a further check of the functionality by loading Plasma under X11, and the Opengl initialisation error doesn't occur, so it looks like it is an issue specific to Wayland.

Steve
