I have been using the nvidia driver from rpmfusion on f35 without problem.
Just upgraded to F36 and its using nouveau.
There is a nvidia-fallback service that ran and did the modprobe nouveau. (Nice that this is here as a fallback)
Anyone know why the rpmfusion driver is not automatically loaded after the upgrade?

Maybe the new kernel isn't supported yet. Try running "akmods" and see what happens.

That's only a problem with the kmod, and it's the reason for the akmond.
The akmod still has to compile against the current kernel. If the module source isn't compatible with the new kernel, the compile will fail.

If the akmod won't work against the newest kernel, that will be fixed before the kernel is released, because that would be a major show-stopper.

Well, that's up to NVidia. Fedora isn't going to delay a kernel release just because a proprietary external kernel module hasn't been updated.

If I had read the rpmfusion common issues then I would have learned that I needed to do a depmod -ae to get things working. Thanks to Leigh who Appointed me to the docs.
All the code and modules had been built for the kernel, but depmod does not happen for some upgrades.

I just had a similar experience upgrading from F34 to F35 using the dnf plugin. The rpmfusion nvidia-470xx driver packages (for GT710 cards) were upgraded and installed, but nouveau was active after the reboot, and the low screen resolution could not be reset. Both systems are ok now, in X11, but one needed reinstallation of the packages quoted for 'Legacy GeForce 600/700' at https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA.
