xorg-x11-drv-nouveau is supplied by fedora, but I was told that the
kernel driver was more up to date, so I removed the fformer.
I have a late 2012 iMac with Nvidia that was using 470xx. I mostly
use nouveau
with wayland, but do have xorg-x11-drv-nouveau.
There were issues with 470xx failing to build in F40 with the akmods
install from
rpmfusion, but now there is a testing version that does install.
Some users have
success with the Nvidia installer. I have the rpmfusion-testing
package installed
but haven't had time to test it. I don't think it supports Wayland.
Thanks for your comment. I posted later, in this thread but with a
subject-line change. It does show in HyperKitty and I've put a link
to it on the rpmfusion list.
I have just updated that, re the dual-boot box. See below:
I have removed all nouveau packages and installed all *470xx"
packages, which installed the new versions. That gave HDMI and vga
screens with their expected resolutions but essentially no user
interactivity because active kwin_wayland runs all cpus at full
throttle. Perhaps that's 'not supported'.
Ctrl/Alt/F3 still works, and I have 6.8.9 now. That complained that
there was "no space on /boot/efi/EFI/Linux/Fedora " (200 MB) but
seems to run (with the same cpu runaway) after I deleted several f39
files.
I hope this doesn't offend any 'religious' beliefs. Installing
plasma-workspace-x11
(in the updates repo but NOT supported by the Fedora KDE SIG)
and selecting "Desktop Session: Plasma (X11)" in the login screen, has
apparently restored this system to a usable state. At present
password entry still has a sluggish keyboard.
The single-boot box is still running nouveau.
Same experience here with a gt710. Mouse action in wayland is very
hesitant. Still on X11.
