The harware was working well, before my recent upgrades from f38,
briefly to f39 and now to f40. Then I was using the rpmfusion 470xx

nvidia or nouveau rpms installed (rpm -qa) although I suppose bits
of config might remain; inxi still finds nvidia traces:
Nouveau is included with the kernel, it doesn't have its own package.
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau is supplied by fedora, but I was told that the
kernel driver was more up to date, so I removed the fformer.
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau is the xorg driver that uses (and requires) the
kernel driver. You need both.
llvmpipe means it's using software 3D rendering because it doesn't
have a 3d hardware driver.
I don't think I want 3D
KDE/wayland uses 3D rendering.

There are a lot of duplicates in that list. If you include
"nomodeset", then you'll be using the lowest common factor display
options. Is there a reason you don't want to use the rpmfusion
drivers? It appears that nouveau isn't working for your system, or
else something is mixed up. You could check the logs for a previous
boot that didn't work.
I have happily used the rpmfusion builds of 470xx until a few weeks
ago; but it was said that wayland support was missing, and for some
time akmods failed to build anyway. I hoped to be able to use the
reverse-engineered FOSS drivers. And a few days ago, after reverting
to 470xx, kwin_wayland appeared to be running 4 cpu cores at 90% and
the mouse was unusable.
As far as I know, the NVidia drivers have had Wayland support for a long
time. That CPU usage is likely if you're using software 3D rendering.
You need to sort out what you have installed.
On the linux-only box I have nvidia-gpu-firmware installed. It may
not be loading (MythTV says vdpau isn't available) but that system
currently does the jobs that I want.
My apologies, by the way, for what looks like a hijack.
Yes, you definitely should have started a new thread.
but it seems better to continue here.
On the dual-boot box I have done
"sudo dnf remove *nouveau*", which removed nouveau-firmware and
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau
"sudo dnf install *470xx*", which pulled in the rpmfusion builds of the
legacy nvidia driver and updated the kernel command line. Wayland
support has been said to start at series 490, which is why I had been
looking at nouveau.
"sudo dnf upgrade" because things are moving quickly at present.
Now booting goes as expected, giving two screens at their expected
resolution *BUT* the cursor movement is jerky, keyboard response is very
slow, and "atop" shows 4 3GHz cores at 99%, for kwin_wayland.
Ctrl/Alt/F3 is the only way to make progress.
Throughout this saga there have been fleeting complaints about the abrtd
service. It's the only one that "systemctl" lists in red.
Ctrl/Alt/F1 says the abrtd.service failed to start and lists Dependency
issues for four abrtd services. I haven't investigated more.
In some ways this is progress, but the system is less usable than the
800x600 nouveau-only form.
