        Lawrence Graves  All things are workable
          but don't all things work.
      

    you'll need to disable nouveau (rdblacklist=nouveau on your kernel
    line in grub/grub2) and/or create a
    /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf file with the contents being:

    
    # RPM Fusion blacklist for nouveau driver - you need to run as root:

    # dracut -f /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

    # if nouveau is loaded despite this file.

    blacklist nouveau

    
    and then reboot to have the akmod build the nvidia driver and
    modprobe it in for use.
