I find that nVidia has been pretty good at supporting Linux and even old cards. A new version of X is a Fedora or Linux issue and nVidia cannot be blamed if Linux is in flux.

yeah, from Xorg.log: X.Org X Server 1.18.99.902 (1.19.0 RC 2) Release Date: 2016-10-28 that is why nvidia is broken .

I compile with cairo-gtk3 and with-X as options, so maybe that has something to do with it. But it doesn't make sense that local players should have problems with local videos if firefox can play remote videos. For what it is worth, I also compile mplayer locally, so it should be using the latest libraries too. Puzzling.

Thanks for patience. It is hard to accept that we just have wait because we want what we want when we want.

The problem is the same problem I reported in the email with subject "nvidia-340xx on F25 - It builds but won't work" The error one gets is.... This server has a video driver ABI version of 23.0 that is not supported by this NVIDIA driver. Please check http://www.nvidia.com/ for driver updates or downgrade to an X server with a supported driver ABI. So, until nVidia supplies a driver to support the latest "This is a pre-release version of the X server from Fedora Project." You will have to be content with running nouveau
