Also, the same thing just happened to me as well on Fedora 23 after updating to kernel 4.4.5-300, nomodeset was already set, had to remove my nvidia drivers.
This happens if you dont reinstall the nvidia drivers after a kernel update, this should happen automatically if your using akmod-nvidia or if your using dkms and have it configured.
You'd need to push it to anywhere other than the redhat bugzilla, nvidia-drivers are 3rd party
Are you not on Linux 4.4.6?
Nvidia: we bork your installs too. Nvidia: because we think you can enable non existent hardware with a driver patch Nvidia: releasing drivers without bug testing them
Ah that makes sense but now I seem to have screwed up in some way so I can't get the drivers to work again...
I am on 4.4.5 and their is no update available.

I was using the negativo17 repo but I still can't get it to work, here is my Xorg log .
I don't really need the drivers anyways though, the backlight issue I had before has disappeared now after the kernel update.

If you dont need them stick with the open drivers there supported far better in the kernel, there much better than they used to be.
For the error, what card do you have?
The card is Quadro K1100M.

Ah OK, bumblebee is probably what you need. It works with the open drivers because the support his https://wiki.freedesktop.org/nouveau/Optimus/
Ive no idea how to setup bumblebee, some info here https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/84680/nvidia-optimusbumblebee-support-fedora/
Yeah, I tried to get bumblebee working before but never succeeded. Didn't know it worked with the open drives though so I will take a look at that.
