Well, yes and no. It's true that installing the kmod or akmod does not
run dracut for you but it should add "rdblacklist=nouveau" to the
kernel line in your grub.conf which should effectively stop nouveau
from loading unless that kernel option is broken in F15.
If rdblacklist is there (and still functional) then that would explain
why running dracut didn't help.
If I understand correctly, nouveau driver prevents nvidia driver from
loading. This is definitely not my case. In my case nvidia driver is
loaded, and X works fine (in KDE). The problem happens only in Gnome
3.
