NVIDIA Again

[Robert McBroom]

System has  a Geforce GT710 graphics card. When Fedora was installed it 
tried to load the 575 series drivers. Was able to force the 470xx driver 
files which are the ones for the card. Now I'm getting a conflict as 
update wants to install

libnvidia-cfg-3:575.57.08-1.fc41.x86_64

and fails with it being incompatible with
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-470xx-libs-470.256.02-1.fc41.x86_64

With libnvidia-cfg excluded the remaining updates were successful.

Curiously

nvidia-persistenced-3:575.57.08-1.fc41.x86_64

was installed.

Would like to understand What is going on!

Fedora does not install nvidia drivers. It was something you would have done.

You need to dnf remove the nvidia drivers you do not need.

With the rpmfusionrepos enabled the appropriate drivers are usually 
installed.

Problem is the drivers for OpenGL to work are not getting properly 
installed wit the confusion of the series.
