My system has a NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 710 video card. It was working with
f33 and rpmfusion drivers. Updating to f35 installed a driver that was
for cards newer than the 710. Tried reverting to the 470.86 driver. All
I could get was a blank screen. Cleared the rpmfusion driver and tried
the NVIDIA binary 470.86 driver. The install seemed to go well but
restart gets only a blank screen. Same with the newer 470.94 driver.
Now trying to use nouveau.
Ran the sequence
rm -f /usr/lib{,64}/libGL.so.* /usr/lib{,64}/libEGL.so.*
rm -f /usr/lib{,64}/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
dnf reinstall xorg-x11-server-Xorg mesa-libGL mesa-libEGL libglvnd\*
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.saved
The nouveau module did not load.
Went to /lib64/xorg/modules/drivers and ran
modprobe nouveau
lsmod|grep nouveau
shows

System still trying to load nvidia instead of nouveau. Noted that
/etc/X11/xorg.conf was still that installed by nvidia. My systems with
ati cards do not have xorg.conf changed the name. startx still
unsuccessful.
The Xorg.0.log file resulting is attached.
What can I do to get the system to give me a graphical desktop?
I have a GT710 in F34. It was running the rpmfusion default driver, in
the 470 series but without the 470xx label. Earlier this week 'dnf
update' wanted to install 495, the new (unlabelled) default which does
not support that card, but I didn't accept.
Then the kde 'software updater' widget showed updates, but with a red
dot. It looked as if I could tick-to-disable just the nvidia updates,
so I did and went ahead; the driver updates happened anyway.
Without rebooting I tried
dnf install --allowerasing akmod-nvidia-470xx
which ran the usual tests and started to go ahead, but then reported a
file conflict.
So I tried
sudo rpm -e --nodeps xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs
followed by
sudo dnf install --allowerasing akmod-nvidia-470xx kmod-nvidia-470xx
which all worked.
sudo systemctl reboot
then rebooted as normal, but NVDEC tv decoding was not available until
I also did
sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-470xx-cuda
