Followed instruction that removed all nvida packages.

Tried to install but get message about filtering??

All matches were filtered out by modular filtering for argument:

That confirn I think that you have both the rpmfusion and the nvidia
(cuda-fedora37-x86_64) repositories installed since cuda-fedora37-x86_64 is
using dnf.modularity.
What gives on your machine: dnf repolist | grep -E 'cuda|rpmfusion' ?
If you have both you should obtain something like:
cuda-fedora37-x86_64 cuda-fedora37-x86_64
rpmfusion-free RPM Fusion for Fedora 38 - Free
rpmfusion-free-updates RPM Fusion for Fedora 38 - Free - Updates
rpmfusion-nonfree RPM Fusion for Fedora 38 - Nonfree
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates RPM Fusion for Fedora 38 - Nonfree - Updates
Machine boots without nvidia packages, and BOINC is still running
with the 6 CPU options, so not sure what driver it is actually
using?? Machine doesn't actually have a monitor connected, so all
access is via turbovnc.
BOINC message now showing [---] No usable GPUs found
Before it was seeing it, so not sure what it is actually seeing as the
video card. Recall at one point having to disable the Noveau?
lsmod | grep -i nvidia
nvidia_drm 94208 0
nvidia_modeset 1556480 1 nvidia_drm
nvidia 62758912 1 nvidia_modeset
video 77824 2 asus_wmi,nvidia_modeset
This shows that the nvidia kernel modules has been left even after removing
all the nvidia RPMs.
What gives: dkms status
So without xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda
BOINC doesn't seem to show the GPU as usuable?
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda comes from rpmfusion and only provides the cuda
driver, not the whole cuda software. If this is sufficient for BOINC, using
only the rpmfusion repository will work and will be simpler to manage.
