I'm not finding a good way here to test this on 32-bit hardware

I'm using up-to-date 64-bit Plasma Mageia-5.

From lspci -k: 
VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G92 [GeForce GTS 250] (rev a2)
        Kernel driver in use: nvidia
        Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia340

If I could recall the steps to allow testing the latest nvidia support, I'm willing to give it a try - it would help...

your system would be using nvidia340, not nvidia-current, so it wouldn't help here.

Looks like 4 mga5 tests and 3 for mga6.
I might have time for more.

Tested on Mageia 6 x86_64, works fine after a reboot.

Only issue happens after installing and before rebooting, since GLX contexts can't be created anymore and stuff like Plasma's logout screen crash when you try to access them... but for the former issue (broken driver during upgrade) we can't do much, and for the latter it's obviously a Plasma bug that it doesn't detect GL capabilities and fallback to something less fancy when missing. So all good.

Whiteboard: MGA5TOO => MGA5TOO MGA6-64-OK

Validating as per all above tests.

I wonder if one should try with not unloading the kernel modules on upgrade so that they would be available until reboot...

I should probably try that locally and then in cauldron for a while if it works..

An update for this issue has been pushed to the Mageia Updates repository.

Try again wilcal.  We clashed and I backed off.

@Len: wrong report for comment 17, it is bug 22027 that is testing 384.98

@Thomas:  Thanks.  I did see that but have no idea how it happened.  Just clicked on the madb entry (for 384.98 I thought).  One of life's little mysteries.
