Yes, I know it is based on proprietary code. Lets not get into that.
Its still missing.
I make this post in case the powers that be don't realize its missing.
Thanks for listening.
Linuxguy123, you are correct! I experienced the same as you.
I ran an update earlier this evening, but didn't get around to
restarting until later. kernel-devel and kernel-headers as well as
kernel were all part of the update. Right before the restart, I noticed
that packagekit had a new notification. I didn't get there in time to
see what it was, but had my suspicions. Lo and behold, upon logging
back into KDE, I got the dreaded white screen of nothingness.
I did a quick ctrl-alt-f2 to log into CLI, and ran a sudo yum update.
kmod-nvidia was there at the wait. after update and subsequent reboot,
all is back to normal.
Here's an excerpt from yum.log (notice kmod-nvidia removed, and not
reinstalled until later)
$ sudo tail -200 /var/log/yum.log
