akmod-nvidia-375.66-3 supports the latest nvidia hardware but there are also
other versions to support earlier HW. My older laptop has
akmod-nvidia-340xx-340.102-3 due to the older HW.
All you need do is install the appropriate akmod-nvidia package and the required
dependencies will be installed.
Which does leave (me) a problem?
https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA#Determining_your_card_model makes it seem
easy... E.g. (if) I buy a GTX 1050 TI
http://www.nvidia.co.uk/buy/graphics-cards/geforce/gtx-1050-ti/
specifically the Gigabyte
https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N105TG1-GAMING-4GD#kf
How do I relate that to a build of akmod please?
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/367.57/README/supportedch...
does not list the 1050?
I see the 1060... though going from that to an akmod 'version' I find hard?
You said "akmod-nvidia-375.66-3 supports the latest nvidia
hardware" is that a general
statement - i.e. that version supports 'all' (at least most) of the
currently available cards?
(feeling rather ignorant)
