It has been my impression in the past that the most recently 
installed driver is likely to work but may disable earlier 
installations.


Thank you, John.  I may not've been clear:  There are no proprietary 
Nvidia drivers installed in F29, and were none on F28. Nouveau only in 
both cases, and they were working under F28.


Does 'dnf' installing the Nvidia driver do all the kernel stuff that's 
involved?




This will tell you much more than you need to know.  See the section 
headed  Current GeForce/Quadro/Tesla.  It will pull in the additional 
packages needed to build the kernel module, and building it will take 
some time.  Sometimes after a version update my box doesn't close down 
normally and I have to reboot via Alt/f2.

I have the current version for f28 running well with a GT 710 which 
gives a similar lspci


Hi, John.  Thanks for the info.  Installing the rpmfusion Nvidia package 
and rebooting is all it took.  I'm good.
