The harware was working well, before my recent upgrades from f38,

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.
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau is supplied by fedora, but I was told that the
kernel driver was more up to date, so I removed the fformer.

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.
I have happily used the rpmfusion builds of 470xx until a few weeks ago;
but it was said that wayland support was missing, and for some time
akmods failed to build anyway. I hoped to be able to use the
reverse-engineered FOSS drivers. And a few days ago, after reverting to
470xx, kwin_wayland appeared to be running 4 cpu cores at 90% and the
mouse was unusable.
On the linux-only box I have nvidia-gpu-firmware installed. It may not
be loading (MythTV says vdpau isn't available) but that system
currently does the jobs that I want.
My apologies, by the way, for what looks like a hijack.
