I had the same issue, it's due to the F12 xorg-x11-drv-nouveau version
being higher than the rawhide version.

Over the weekend I tried this via yum and the upgrade/install part

fine. But once I rebooted, the gui wouldn't work. Meaning, at the
gdm/login screen, it was garbled. I downgraded xorg-x11-server-comment
(was 1 or 2 packages total) to the F12 (may have been upgrade/test one)
version, and that got me the login screen (although it didn't show my
username, just "other). But once at the login screen, my mouse/keyboard
(wireless desktop) wouldn't work at all. I then aborted and reinstalled
F12. Nouveau chipset/card for video.
Not big priority to run it, but just wanted to report what I initially
ran into.
