Thanks for the reply, but it doesn't really make sense or seem to answer the question. I was wondering why bother with v295 when you could go for a more recent (ie most up to date) release?!

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?

**

for mga2, the driver update (meaning no new functionality, just bugfixes is
295)

for mga3 (beta1) the latest driver is atm 310...

if for mga2 you want a newer driver you should ask for a backport request, ie:
to have 310 on mga2 as well.

plz file such requests at https://bugs.mageia.org/
