In file Xorg.9.log
Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64

Same NOUVEAU was working as evidenced by these lines in file Xorg.1.log:
Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.14.8-200.fc20.x86_64 
root=UUID=691db345-e126-4dc7-8846-955

I think the Xorg.9.log was run some time after kernel 3.14.8-200 was 
installed,
and kernel 3.11 was still on the boot menu splash, and I had for some reason
selected that kernel to boot.

For some reason, I do not have any Xorg files containing kernel 3.15.x,
and I am not in the habit of deleting Xorg log files.

P.S: You also advised to put the blacklist line back into 
/usr/lib/modprobe.d/dist-blacklist.conf
        which I did, and I rebooted - to no avail :(
        It just cannot load nouveau.ko driver because of unresolvable 
symbols at modprobe time.
        I think I sent that info to the list already.
