[Mageia-dev] What's the point of the latest nvidia update?

[Robert Wood]

I have a modern nvidia graphics card on my desktop that necessittated 
having to get the very latest nvidia driver from the nvidia site and 
manually install.

So, when we had a nvidia pakcage update on my laptop, I thought I'd give 
the Mageia package another go, but it makes sack-all difference, it 
still just sits there doing nothing and says:

Failed to start Wait for Plymouth Boot Screen to Quit

So I went and looked on my laptop and it looks like it's v 295.49 
whereas the very latest version is 304.43. I need this for my modern 
graphics card or the desktop refuses to boot. So, why bother with 
v295.49 when there's a much more modern one?
