Things have become a bit more complex lately with all the issues of Grub2
defaulting to the wrong menu entry, etc..

What worked this time  (3.17.1-302.fc21) was to install 
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia from rpmfusion,
then change "rhgb quiet" to  "nomodeset".   This may have to be repeated
if the kernel is updated.    You may have to play with "grub2-set-default".
