nvidia kernel modules and drivers for F20

[Roderick Johnstone]

Mike/Nicolas

Thanks for your suggestions.

I was able to resolve this with:

For systems with older grahics cards:
yum erase xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
yum --enablerepo=rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing install 
akmod-nvidia-340xx
akmods --kernel 3.18.7-100.fc20.x86_64

For systems with newer graphics cards:
yum erase xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx
akmods --kernel 3.18.7-100.fc20.x86_64

I just run the akmods commands by hand to be sure that the kmod will be 
built ok before rebooting.
