Hi, my screen freezes on an irregular basis. At first I thought it

useless.
After rebooting and looking in journalctl, nouveau is often at the
scene of the crime (three episodes pasted below).
I tried installing the nvidia unix drivers (355.11, 352.55) as I had
success with in F22 but both were worse in F23; the boot process
would
freeze and the screen would flash violently and would never get to
the
login screen. Thanks in advance for any help.
To use the proprietary Nvidia drivers you have to downgrade the X
server to 1.17 (F23 supplies 1.18):
sudo dnf --showduplicates --allowerasing --releasever=22 downgrade xorg-x11-server-Xorg
You can then install the Nvidia 353.55 driver package from Nvidia's
site. I did this recently and haven't had a freeze since.
