The harware was working well, before my recent upgrades from f38,
briefly to f39 and now to f40. Then I was using the rpmfusion 470xx
builds of the nvidia legacy drivers. Now the dual-boot box has no
nvidia or nouveau rpms installed (rpm -qa) although I suppose bits of
config might remain; inxi still finds nvidia traces:
Nouveau is included with the kernel, it doesn't have its own package.

This is the xorg nvidia drive, but I assume it's not working if the
kernel driver isn't loaded.

llvmpipe means it's using software 3D rendering because it doesn't have
a 3d hardware driver.

There are a lot of duplicates in that list. If you include "nomodeset",
then you'll be using the lowest common factor display options. Is there
a reason you don't want to use the rpmfusion drivers? It appears that
nouveau isn't working for your system, or else something is mixed up.
You could check the logs for a previous boot that didn't work.
