I never run with rhgb and quiet option
In level 6, it starts Plymouth and stay stocked for ever

I tried one time with this option, it did not help. 
now: it is:
[   970.950] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-4.0.4-301.fc22.i686+PAE root=/dev/mapper/VolGrpSys0-root ro vconsole.keymap=fr rd.dm=0 rd.md=0 rd.luks=0 vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd.lvm.lv=VolGrpSys0/root LANG=en_US.UTF-8 3

I do not see much difference (after removing inst.xdriver=vesa).

I also tried to use the file xorg.conf generated by Live, but it does not help.

Thank for your help.
