Hello,
A new machine and I have installed the rpmfusion nVidia akmods but xorg is trying to load
module "nv", not "nvidia" according the Xorg.0.log.
Where could the system be trying to load the nv driver instead of the nvidia driver?
nvidia-xorg.conf exists
99-nvidia.conf exists and points to the correct module directories.
This may be the issue.
modprobe: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Required key not available
How do I add a key to nvidia to load the module?
I need secure boot configured on this machine for Windows 10 and gaming as it is not my
computer and will be configured as dual boot.

I switch between nvidia and nouveau for testing.
Here are the steps I use to install the nvidia driver.
(I have no idea why you would need to bother with the black listing stuff).
Install NVidia closed drivers
Fist remove open driver:
dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nouveau
Install closed driver:
dnf install akmod-nvidia
reboot
