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?

Thankyou for the responses guys. The issues I had with the Fedup upgrade
from F22 to F23, was that the rpmfusion kmod drivers wouldn't install
and the akmod driver that I had installed under F22 as a backup
safeguard would not install in F23 because nouveau was in the kernel img
files. These issues were rectified when I followed a tip from someone
else on this list and installed the negativo17 repositories, which as
part of there install added nouveau blacklist commands to the grub
kernel line to bypass the requirement to remove nouveau from the kernel
img files.
I have bitten the bullet and upgraded to F24 and xorg refused to start.
Removing the kmod and akmod drivers caused the system to revert back to
nouveau, but kde would not start from kdm because it couldn't find
anything that provided Opengl 2 support. I had to use different
install/uninstall methods 4 or 5 times before I could actually get the
nvidia drivers used and the system actually started.
I will raise other threads on the mail list relative to other problems I
am now encountering as a result of the upgrade to F24.
regards,
Steve
