Yesterday morning, I wanted to do my weekly patches (dnf upgrade). I saw that dnf wanted
up upgrade the kernel to 6.11.3, but I did not see it wanting to bring in a newer version
of the rpmfusion nvidia driver. This looks like the sort of thing that caused me real
problems multiple times in the past. So I "declined" the upgrade. I tried
again a few minutes ago; same results; I declined again.

I do NOT want to be running with nouveau!
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.
