First this stupid bug crops up in 4.2 kernels and pulls a
gauze film over my screen at home where I use Intel

I can work around this by using the old 4.1 kernel
in fedora 22, but there is no 4.1 kernel for
fedora 23.
Then in Fedora 23 at work, I can't use the nvidia
binary drivers because fedora shipped a beta
version of the X server, and I can't use nouveau
because it will only work on maxwell cards when
nvidia gives nouveau some way to distribute and
load the firmware required. So I have to force
vesa mode (which is not very useful on a UHD monitor :-).
It is looking like it will be a long time before
I can actually run fedora 23 by default both at
home and at work...
I updated one system and switched from the nVidia drivers back to nouveau. Basically
things run well, that is unless you want to view mp4 videos using things like vlc or
mplayer. Those packages are available from updates-testing of rpmfusion but when you run
them you get only audio and this error message.
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nouveau.so: cannot open shared object file: No such

That system is pretty much a test system. At the moment I've no plans to upgrade my
"work" to F23 unless things get resolved or I decide to go through the exercise
of
downgrading Xorg server.
