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up upgrade the kernel to 6.11.3, but I did not see it wanting to bring in a newer version
of the rpmfusion nvidia driver.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?
A. comments.

I have the nvida driver installed but use nouveau
because my main requirement is to drive two screens, and it works.
Odd. I also have 2 monitors. But when I get stuck using nouveau, only one
monitor works, and everything displays larger than it should.

rpmfusion uses Nvidia's version numbers.
Notice in my original post (above) that the rpmfusion module version numbers
partially match the kernel version numbers. I also saw that throughout the
half-year that I was using the 6.10.12 kernels in f39. So when doing weekly
patches, I was comfortable proceeding because version numbers match, or the
kernel version number changed only in the right part, not the left two parts
(6.10). It seems that if George is correct, then something changed going fro
f39 to f40 and or going from kernel 6.10 to kernel 6.11. The version numbers
for the rpmfusion nvidia driver and the kernel seem to have stopped matching.
That's the core of my initiating this thread.
B. results.

Do the upgrade and check to see if the rpmfusion module works.
I tried it. It worked. ...this time!
