The latest two kernels and the nvidia-304xx module are incompatible. That is, the nvidia.ko module built by akmod-nvidia-304xx won't load. That means that my three machines with older nvidia video cards (one built into the mobo) are stuck running the old
kernel-4.2.8-300.fc23.x86_64
kernel-4.3.3-300.fc23.x86_64 kernel-4.3.3-301.fc23.x86_64
In the past, incompatibilities were resolved in about a week. This time, it's nearly a month. No new package of akmod-nvidia-304xx or kmod-nvidia-304xx has shown up at the rpmfusion-nonfree-updates[-testing] repo. The akmod-nvidia-340xx module on another machine that needs it runs fine. Does anyone have a clue when this older version of the nvidia module might be fixed?
Here are the error messages with the newer kernel:
