Well, when there are full 3D functioning drivers within the kernel that 
support all the features of the video card, then that would be great.  I 
am using CUDA on this machine.

I tried an AMD card on a computer last year and that was nothing but a 
headache and I gave up after a few months of frozen machine and desktops.

This is the /etc/default/grub after adding the blacklist yesterday. 
Adding blacklist made no difference.  This is what was in the grub file 
going back months.

GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.luks.uuid=luks-2e0ad798-4e73-4b78-a902-7e8d02cf124e 
nomodeset rhgb quiet rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau video=vesa:off "
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text

I looked through the settings in grub and they have not changed.  The 
previous kernel runs beautifully.  The latest one doesn't.  Machine has 
been in use and I have not had time to do tests as I had hoped.  My 
other machine is a F23 machine and I will do the updates tonight and see 
if the problem is in F23 as well.

I am going to try to rebuild the akmods if I can later tonight as in the 
other post.  See what happens and if anything shows up in the logs.

Looking at my F23 machine, there is no blacklist in the 
/etc/default/grub either and it works. with the 4.7.4 kernel.
