Re: Reverting to nouveau

FWIW, I have reverted from the NVIDIA driver to nouveau quite often by simply doing
    $ sudo dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
which also removed most of the dependencies you have mentioned. After that I could reboot into nouveau without any other alterations - just to notice that nouveau is not my friend. So reverted to NVIDIA again in a similar way:
    $ sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
(which, on reboot, was followed by some lenghty stop/start jobs from akmod but worked in the end)

Due to ongoing problems with non-functioning hibernation (or rather
resuming) I decided to reduce the number of variables by removing the
proprietary Nvidia drivers. I did the following:

- Removed all Nvidia-related rpms (i.e. everything with Nvidia in the
name, i.e.:

kmod-nvidia-340xx-4.7.5-200.fc24.x86_64-340.96-3.fc24.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx-libs-340.96-2.fc24.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx-340.96-2.fc24.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-340xx-4.7.3-200.fc24.x86_64-340.96-3.fc24.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx-kmodsrc-340.96-2.fc24.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx-libs-340.96-2.fc24.i686
akmod-nvidia-340xx-340.96-3.fc24.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-340xx-4.7.4-200.fc24.x86_64-340.96-3.fc24.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-340xx-4.7.2-201.fc24.x86_64-340.96-3.fc24.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-kmodsrc-367.44-1.fc24.x86_64

- Deleted /etc/X11/*nvidia*
- Deleted the Nvidia blacklist file from /etc/modprobe.d
- Rebooted

I now have a VGA system (640x480). The Nouveau module is not loading at
boot. xrandr says "Failed to get size of gamma for output default".

So, two questions:

a) What am I forgetting?
b) Why is switching video drivers so fscking difficult?
