Hi,
I took this issue to the Fedora forum initially, but no-one there has
been able to offer any guidance, so I have decided to come to the
nouveau community directly.
I was running a KDE desktop under Fedora 21 successfully, including
the ability to use a direct text login on an older card (GXT 560 Ti)
with an entirely stock Fedora, fully updated.
I simply replaced the old card with an Asus GTX 970 and re-booted.
I run with the "rhgb quiet" option removed from grub2, so I can see
all that happens up to the graphical login screen and I noticed that
the re-boot was different at the point at which the screen changed
from a basic (80x25 ?) text to a higher resolution (128X50 ?). This no
longer happened and I got a simple blank screen.
If I wait, the graphical boot screen eventually appears and I can
login to KDE successfully and run my desktop apps as normal. If I
switch consoles (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-F2) for a text login, I get a black
screen.
The last visible thing on my boot screen before the black is something
like "fb: switching to nouveaufb from EFI VGA".
When I looked at the dmesg output, lsmod and lshw, it appears that the
nouveau driver does not correctly detect and initialise the GTX 970.
Have I a configuration error, or is there something not working in
nouveau?
I attach logs from dmesg, lshw and lsmod and I can supply more data if
needed.

Hi,
the 9xx series is rather new and is not supported by nouveau for now
(modesetting is in 3.19rcX imho). Concerning acceleration: Nvidia needs
to provide signed firmwares for those cards under a license appropriate
to include in an open source project, until that happens, there wont be
substantial improvements.
Greetings
Tobias
