I can't check now, and could be mistaken, but I think I have the nVidia packages
that have just been pushed to stable. The original post was intended as a 'heads
up' warning, on installing the 4.12.8-200 kernel.
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ rpm -q akmod-nvidia
akmod-nvidia-375.66-3.fc26.x86_64
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ uname -r
4.12.9-300.fc26.x86_64
My card is GeForce GTX 660 and all is OK
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ dnf check-update

Returned nothing. But this did.
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ dnf --enablerepo rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing check-update
akmod-nvidia

So, if there is a general problem it would seem to be with the updates to the kernel
+ the updates to nVidia.
