Yet Another Blank Screen On NVIDIA After A Fedora 44 upgrade Post

Support

NVIDIA and Nouveau drivers are failing for the GTX 750 card after the Fedora 44 update. I don't have EFI, SecureBoot, or LUKS enabled.

Things I've attempted after extensive searching including this subreddit:

  • akmod-nvidia-580xx and akmod-nvidia-470xx
  • Let akmod run for 30 minutes, as well as tried forcing the generation using akmods
  • Fully purged all NVIDIA files generated by the drivers (per the RPM Fusion instructions)
  • Removed the rhbg and quiet options from GRUB
  • Added nvidia_drm.modeset=1
  • Removed nouveau,nova from the blacklisted modules
  • Looked at the NVIDIA Fedora Guide, Fedora Noble Setup

Switching to a TTY does not output an image, and I've mostly been able to access my system via SSH.

It's safe to say I'm at my wits' end, and that I've done pretty much everything I can think of short of reinstalling Fedora from scratch.

Help?
