Thats interesting, because I'm not seeing any *nvidia-340xx* packages in
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates now.
I've checked with yum (but sometimes I'm hit with mirrors being out of
date) and also by looking at:
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/updates/20/x86_64/repoview/index.html

I don't think you need the updates - testing repo anymore. I just
installed the 340xx driver the other day, on a box with a GeForce 8600,
and it worked fine.

Thanks for your suggestions.
I was able to resolve this with:
For systems with older grahics cards:
yum erase xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
yum --enablerepo=rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing install
akmod-nvidia-340xx
akmods --kernel 3.18.7-100.fc20.x86_64
For systems with newer graphics cards:
yum erase xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx
akmods --kernel 3.18.7-100.fc20.x86_64
I just run the akmods commands by hand to be sure that the kmod will be
built ok before rebooting.
