Ah-HA! A 352.63 driver just showed up on the nvidia site with this
as one of the items added:

   Added support for X.Org xserver ABI 20 (xorg-server 1.18).

So we just need rpmfusion to catch up now :-).

There is a guide to installing the NVidia drivers on Fedora 23. It
involves back-reving xorg to 1.17.  (1.18 is not stable using Nouveau
drivers on my 2 gig NVidia card. I get some weird texture corruption.)

The install guide is at:

http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2015/fedora-nvidia-guide/

It worked pretty well for me. I did have to add --allowerasing on the
command to back-rev xorg.

Me too. But I've always one machine left, in case of trouble. And I
have complete backups of all machines, thus reverting to a previous
state is just a matter of 30 minutes.

This time, I partially broke with old habits not to upgrade within the
first four weeks. Should have known better...

I find the safest and easiest way to do this is keep my fedora 22
partition the default and wait for f23 to get all the support I need
before switching :-).

I had already switched to Fedora 23 before I found out about the problem(s).

Yep! Have just reverted all four F23 machines to F22. Too many
annoying bugs at the moment. Have left one F23 machine to test,
though..

Which is why I keep two distro partitions around and always
install from scratch in the spare partition for new releases :-).

xorg 1.18 released

2015-11-10 Thread Tom Horsley
I see the official announcement of xorg server 1.18:

http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/2015-November/002655.html

Anyone have any clues about when the final release
will show up in fedora 23, and vastly more important,
when nvidia binary drivers will show up now that 1.18
is official?

P.S. I'd vastly prefer to use the nouveau open
source driver, but my maxwell card won't talk
nouveau unless nvidia releases the firmware
in some form nouveau can use, so I'm stuck
waiting for nvidia either way :-).

You should probably use https://www.changedetection.com and monitor
http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for changes to see when they release a 
new driver. 
And then you can bug the folks at rpmfusion.
