I ran into this a couple of weeks ago. I think that something was broken
in the repos for a short period.
What you should have as of last week (I think). I do not have access to
my fc20 machine at the moment to check. There should not be any 340xx
packages.
rpm -qa | grep -i nvidia
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-331.113-2.fc20.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-3.18.6-100.fc20.x86_64-331.113-1.fc20.4.x86_64
akmod-nvidia-331.113-1.fc20.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-331.113-2.fc20.x86_64
Do
yum erase xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx-340.65-4.fc20.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx-libs-340.65-4.fc20.x86_64
The yum erase will remove a bunch of nvidia packages, so they need to be
reinstalled.
yum install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
yum install akmod-nvidia "kernel-devel-uname-r == $(uname -r)"

Hi
The nvidia drives are not working for me with the latest kernel on
Fedora 20.
There are no kmods (or akmods) for the latest kernel
(kernel-3.18.7-100.fc20.x86_64) for the 340xx driver which yum has
installed for me.
This is what my nightly yum updates gave me:
yum list installed "*nvidia*"
Loaded plugins: langpacks, xray

There don't seem to be any
kmod-nvidia-340xx*
or
akmod-nvidia-340xx.x86_64
packages in the nonfree x86_64 updates repo and the package
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx conflicts with the available
kmod-nvidia-3.18.7-100.fc20.x86_64.x86_64 1:331.113-1.fc20.5
for the latest kernel.
If I
yum --enablerepo=rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing update
Then there are errors as follows:
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx conflicts with
1:xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-331.113-2.fc20.x86_64
Error: xorg-x11-drv-nvidia conflicts with
1:xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx-340.76-1.fc20.x86_64
I notice that the F21 repos do have the
kmod-nvidia-340xx*
and
akmod-nvidia-340xx.x86_64
Is this an oversight for the F20 repo, or am I missing something?
Thanks
