Was looking around, and found this info in
/var/cache/akmods/nvidia-470xx
Appears that it was working with 6.7.11 kernel but is now failing
with 6.8.x

Thanks.
I've dropped the initial posts in this thread.. When I posted on the
rpmfusion list, on 9 April, Sergio's response was:
a fix for nvidia 340x was posted today ,
for Fedora 40 we don't have these kmod nvidias because it fail to build
with gcc14 .
Please someone which have these graphics try fix it ASAP
Thank you
So one difficulty is probably a lack of rpmfusion devs with the affected
hardware...
