nvidia kernel modules and drivers for F20

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
Installed Packages
akmod-nvidia.x86_64                              1:331.113-1.fc20 
@rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
kmod-nvidia-3.18.6-100.fc20.x86_64.x86_64        1:331.113-1.fc20.4 
@rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
kmod-nvidia-3.18.7-100.fc20.x86_64.x86_64        1:331.113-1.fc20.5 
@rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
kmod-nvidia-340xx-3.17.8-200.fc20.x86_64.x86_64  1:340.65-4.fc20 
@rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx.x86_64                 1:340.65-4.fc20 
@rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx-libs.x86_64            1:340.65-4.fc20 
@rpmfusion-nonfree-updates

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

Roderick Johnstone
