Thanks Kari, I had to use Bumblebee since my laptop uses Optimus technology
as Tod pointed out. I disabled the 'nomodeset' from the kernel command line
and just before the GDM loads the OS and it will lock up and you can hear
the fan blowing as if all the resources are being consumed. The only way
around this is to power down the box, if I don't touch the kernel command
line and let it boot, it will get to the GDM; however, each time I try to
login it will come right back to the login screen, but I can go to another
virtual console.

It is fair to say that I can close this thread and open a new one for
Bumblebee because I am able to boot Fedora 23 on the ASUS ROG laptop.
