I installed the drivers using the below. Problem is the same, black screen on boot, but you can shift to another terminal and startx. The nVidia control panel shows the driver loaded and reports OK.
I used the following:
dnf update
dnf install fedora-workstation-repositories
config-manager --set-enabled rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver
dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia akmod-nvidia
dnf update
reboot.
Here's the full output of the commands used, and I pulled the logs again:
I've not had a chance to dredge through them myself yet, I should be able to tonight or tomorow I hope. In the mean time is there any other logs/diagnostics I should check that might help?
Thanks,
Thomas

Yes. Since, based on previous post, it seems the problem to be related to sddm you
should save the output of....
systemctl status sddm
