OK.
Lets try the following:
0. When Fedora boot, bring up the grub menu.
1. 'E' to edit the Fedora entry.
2. After rhgb quiet, add "rdblacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0
vga=0x317 3". (Notice the '3' in the end)
3. Ctrl-X to reboot.
4. Fedora will be boot, but will not try to bring up X.
5. Login as root.
6. Please post the output of:
$ /sbin/lsmod | grep nouveau
7. Please post the output of:
$ cat /proc/cmdline
8. If nouveau is loaded (will be shown in the output of line 6), try
removing it:
$ /sbin/rmmod nouveau
9. Repeat line 6, does nouveau still appear?
10. If nouveau is not present, type:
$ xinit
11. If nothing happens, press Ctrl-C, and attach the contents of the
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
12. If everything worked just fine, edit /etc/default/grub, locate the
"rhgb quiet" and add "rdblacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0
vga=0x317".
13. Rebuild the grub configuration:
$ grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
