Tried nvidia drivers from rpm fusion on Fedora 35, got black screen after kernel upgrade, removed drivers. Now Google Meet on Chrome complains it can’t do any visual effects, same for Firefox.
I was able to do background blur just fine before installing the nvidia drivers.
Report from chrome://gpu: https://pastebin.com/BVQjdEnm
Use hardware acceleration is on in Chrome.
I did try put the nvidia drivers back on, but still got black screen.
Upgraded to F36, no change.
You have to use the nvidia drivers with nvidia GPU to enable hardware acceleration.
This implies we need more info to solve the black screen issue so the driver is working well before you move on to the special effects.
Please post the output of dnf repolist and inxi -Fzx in preformatted text </> tags so we can tell which GPU is installed and which repo the driver would be installed from

I see that you have both rpmfusion-nonfree and rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver repos enabled.
To do a clean install of the nvidia drivers from rpmfusion please do the following.
dnf remove *nvidia*dnf install akmod-nvidia*515* xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda*515* --disablerepo=rpmfusion-nonfreelsmod | grep nvidiaThanks. I’ll give that a go. It bothers me that it’s not working without the nvidia driver when it was working just fine before I installed it.
Hardware acceleration does not work on most newer nvidia cards when using the open source nouveau driver. That is a fact that is inescapable.
You may have been able to use the enhanced features of the software, but at the cost of cpu load doing software video rendering and slower video response.
So I ran the commands you suggested. Black screen again. My BIOS menu doesn’t have a secureboot on/off setting but it allows you to choose “Legacy” or “UEFI” for the boot menu. I had both on and so there’s two entries for the fedora partition in the boot menu, both led to a black screen.
Please post the output of dmesg | grep -iE 'secure|nvidia|nouveau just after booting as well as dnf list installed *nvidia* and cat /etc/default/grub
If you have a setting for UEFI then it is almost certain there is an option to disable secure boot under the security tab in the bios. It may be one or more levels down in the selections.
Sorry for taking a while to respond.
I’m not sure how, but I’m certain Secure Boot is disabled.
$ mokutil --sb-state
SecureBoot disabled
Platform is in Setup Mode
I went through the process of trying the drivers again. Same issue. I then edited the grub line to get back to nouveau and then ran your commands.
$ dmesg | grep -iE 'secure|nvidia|nouveau'

Not sure if related, but running Chrome now crashes the desktop and I have to relogin. If I start it with --disable-gpu, then it’s fine.
