My system has a NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 710 video card. It was working with
f33 and rpmfusion drivers. Updating to f35 installed a driver that was
for cards newer than the 710. Tried reverting to the 470.86 driver. All
I could get was a blank screen. Cleared the rpmfusion driver and tried
the NVIDIA binary 470.86 driver. The install seemed to go well but
restart gets only a blank screen. Same with the newer 470.94 driver.
Now trying to use nouveau.
Ran the sequence
rm -f /usr/lib{,64}/libGL.so.* /usr/lib{,64}/libEGL.so.*
rm -f /usr/lib{,64}/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
dnf reinstall xorg-x11-server-Xorg mesa-libGL mesa-libEGL libglvnd\*
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.saved
The nouveau module did not load.
Went to /lib64/xorg/modules/drivers and ran
modprobe nouveau
lsmod|grep nouveau
shows

ran
dracut -f
to update initramfs and did restart
graphical start does not connect to the server
System still trying to load nvidia instead of nouveau. Noted that
/etc/X11/xorg.conf was still that installed by nvidia. My systems with
ati cards do not have xorg.conf changed the name. startx still unsuccessful.
The Xorg.0.log file resulting is attached.
What can I do to get the system to give me a graphical desktop?
