I think you got it right. I had considered switching over to the nouveau driver as a test but I was hesitant since the switch included a "dracut -f". Your reply gave me the courage. The switch worked fine, no issue for the dracut. I rebooted to the 4.20 kernel first and then did a "dnf reinstall kernel-5.0.3-200.fc29.x86_64". That had no issues and I have now rebooted into the 5.0.3 kernel and things look fine. I can run this way until the rpm fusion Nvidia is ready.

Thanks much.
