So after working on this all afternoon with Lawrence, it turned out that we needed to
fall back to the 280.13 version of the nVidia
akmod from F15 to get it to work. With the 290.10 and the 285.05.09 we kept seeing this
in the Xorg.5.log file (don't know why it
was creating the .5 log file but that's another problem for another time):
I think the .5 is because it tries to start X multiple times if it
fails, and creates a log with a different .N for each attempt.
[ 42.538] (**) NVIDIA(0): Enabling 2D acceleration
[ 43.913] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to get supported display device(s)
[ 43.933] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Failed to query OR info 0x24
[ 43.935] (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU Quadro FX 2500M (G71GL) at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0)
Going back to the 280.13 version fixed this.
Congratulations both on that hard work paying off, it's been a pretty
long road to get this one solved.
