I was so happy when the nouveau driver finally worked
on my nvidia maxwell card in fedora 24, but now after
about a week, this happened:

Total screen freeze :-(.
At least it took as long as a week.
If it happens a lot, I may have to go back to
nvidia binaries (I hate the pain of installing them).
I am still on F23 (haven't seen anything yet to say F24 is stable) and I
am using the negativo17 environment for the nvidia drivers, steam and
multimedia and found no issues with installs/upgrades, in my view its no
more difficult than installing any Fedora package. I'm using these for
the nvidia drivers because rpmfusion seems to have stopped keeping their
F23 versions in sync with the kernel, in so far as trying to install the
binary drivers wants to install them at the 4.2.3 kernel level. Once you
issue the dnf command to add the negativo17 repository, it is just a
matter of issuing dnf install nvidia-driver and its off and going.
Just as a side issue to the track, if I use Fedup to upgrade from F23 to
F24, is it going to function the same as using Fedup to upgrade from F22
to F23, and remove the binary/source nvidia drivers and migrate the
system back to nouveau?

Steve
