FWIW, I can confirm that akmod-nvidia-358.16-1.fc23.x86_64 breaks my system with the
GeForce 8600M GS card (a rather old card in a laptop).
Falling back to akmod-nvidia-340xx.x86_64 got things working again. You may want to
consider giving that a try after checking and confirming 340xx is supposed to support
your
card.
The 8600 series cards are classified like the 9600 series and 9300
series cards , as "Legacy" and *require* the 340-xxx series drivers.
I am using the 340.96 with a 9300 chipset on my main box, and with a
9600 chipset on the mythbox. Both running well on F22. Using the wrong
driver might the problem, not F23.
