So, new bug, but file it against kernel or xorg-x11-drv-nouveau?
If "kill -TERM <pid_of_/usr/bin/Xorg>" does restart the X server
and results in a graphical display, then perhaps -nouveau might be better?
This report:
[NVA8][Nouveau] GPU lockup - switching to software fbcon
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=918732
sat in kernel for two weeks before being transferred to xorg-x11-drv-nouveau.
