After getting the system to boot from the May failures, I was quick to:
1. back up user data,
2. upgrade from f24 to f25, and
3. make an f25 live USB stick.
A week after recovery from the May problems, I discovered the hard drive
was failing. For a few days, I used the F25 live USB so I could
minimize use of the hard drive until the new drive arrived and I could
get the old one cloned, and get the new one installed. With the live
USB, screen resolution was coarse, and I experienced freeze-ups. So the
test that was suggested has been tried. Nouveau did poorly. That
coupled with Francois Patte's thread tell me to stick with the nVidia
proprietary driver.
thanks,
Bill.
