UPDATE:<\/h1>\n

It looks like this driver might<\/em> be outright causing hangs during the weekly-system-update reboots<\/strong> anyway, despite the RPMFusion devs\u2019 best efforts; you can\u2019t make NVidia write functional drivers for a non-Gamer audience.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve got a \u201clegacy\u201d GPU, you\u2019re probably better off using the OS-vendor-supplied drivers\u2026<\/p>\n

[TODO: provide logs, note motherboard model, etc.]<\/p>\n

Trying the RPMFusion method<\/a>\u2014do not follow the guide from inttf<\/a><\/span>; it wrongly presumes competency on the part of the NVidia devs. Their \"installer\" will screw up your\u00a0 system. At least the peeps at RPMFusion actually use<\/em> the packages they make.<\/p>\n

This log\/guide was for the Quadro FX 1700; it may work similarly for other cards\u2014in any case, be sure to identify the correct driver version\u2014for this card, that'd be 340. This table<\/a> might prove\u00a0 useful.<\/p>\n

After adding the RPMFusion repo: install the packages xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx ocl-icd-devel xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx-cuda<\/code>\u2014the last 2 are both<\/em> necessary (even for non-development OpenCL work!)\u2014and dnf erase xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-nouveau<\/code>, if present. (Then, obviously, reboot.)<\/p>\n

I found mesa-libOpenCL<\/code> to be unnecessary; I erased it after reading a forum thread claiming it should be replaced by<\/em> ocl-icd-devel<\/code>, but I can no longer find this thread.<\/p>\n
