it works perfectly well. My problem is with hibernation. See the thread

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists. fedoraproject.org/thread/ K3AI2V6AAW3SXYD4WI7AKUVP7HGYQR N5/# NLCYKEWHYTODJPM7QHHUCH22LCEQOW CQ

people, including you, can use Nouveau. Sorting a problem involving Nvidia

to see big parts of the code that might be involved.
