All of my X issues regarding my nvidia card get solved after each kernel update by typing in "/usr/sbin/akmods --force"On 08/08/2015 09:42 PM, Rich Emberson wrote:

Coming up in graphical target as default.target, KDE X does
not render properly.
With right click I a small box appears under the cursor,
navigating to what I guess is the first menu item, I can
start a console.
A box appears. I click into it and type:
> xterm
Another box appears and I can launch another xterm from it.
At any of the xterm's (and console) I can enter commands.
The area where the xterm prints my input text and any resulting
output text is drawn ... but not the rest of the xterm (which
remains the background image).
I can find the top of the xterm box and move it ... it leaves
a trail of sides of the xterm as it is moved.
Any xterm over which I move another xterm, does not refresh
it self.
Basically, X is unusable.

The contents of /etc/X11 is the same post upgrade to fedora 22
as it was for fedora 20 (I kept a copy of 20's /etc/X11 directory).
In /var/log/Xorg.0.log the same (EE) and (WW) messages
appear in the fedora 22 as in the fedora 20 log (again, I kept
a copy).
The only difference that pops out is that for the fedora 20
Xorg.0.log the bottom has:

which is to say, a lot more gathered Modelines ... whatever that means.
The nouveau entries in the Xorg.0.log are very similar:

I saved the machine I do most of my work on for the
last ... after all others managed to go from 20 -> 22
(with some bumps along the way).
Alas, success elsewhere did not guarantee success with my main machine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Richard
