Thank you, John. I may not've been clear: There are no proprietary
Nvidia drivers installed in F29, and were none on F28. Nouveau only in
both cases, and they were working under F28.

packages needed to build the kernel module, and building it will take
some time. Sometimes after a version update my box doesn't close down
normally and I have to reboot via Alt/f2.
