I did remove nouveau before installing nvidia and I did try the
rpmfusion pkgs after that with no success. Ill keep an eye on that
bug. Thank you.

This is an ongoing issue with the nouveau driver. I finally gave up and
went with radeon. The open source radeon driver has been rock solid
for me, and meets my simple needs. AMD / ATI released the specs
for the radeons, unlike nvidia, where the devs are reverse
engineering the nouveau driver. Here's the nouveau bug.

A thought, did you fully remove the nouveau driver before using the
nvidia binary blob? They don't play well together, and it can cause
problems.
Did you use the akmod / kmod from rpmfusion to install the nvidia
drivers?
Finally, I think I've seen something about nvidia not having their
binary blob modified to deal with the changed X api in f23. That could
be the source of your problem with the binary blob.
