Is RPMfusion on strike? [SOLVED -- at least for me]

Yes it was.

As a warning to others and a good lesson(s) relearned:

1) in an attempt to solve another unrelated problem I enabled
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing repo.  I forgot to disable it
afterwards.

2) later when I went looking for a kmod-nvidia driver, the driver from
testing showed up.  Without reading carefully, and thinking it was the
latest stable driver, I installed it.  From there on everything went
wonky.

I.E. Pay attention to what you are doing!
