You can't use wayland with nvidia driver

What nvidia version were you using before 375.66?
Also post

rpm -qa *\nvidia\*

Bug report log for kernel-4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64

I upgraded to kernel-4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64 and this is the output from nvidia-bug-report.sh. kernel-4.10.13-200.fc25.x86_64 exhibits the same behavior. I can supply output for that kernel version on request.

Hi, Leigh, it's nice to meet you. Thanks for the rapid response!

My laptop is a 2017 Dell gaming laptop with 32 GB of memory and 8 usable cores. Why would anybody buy such a ridiculous thing? My last laptop purchase was in 2000 so I would like this one to also last me 18 years. Normally I stick with Intel graphics but this was the only laptop I could find with 32 GB support for under $2,000.

looks like nouveau is also loading

Try

sudo /usr/sbin/grubby --update-kernel=ALL --remove-args='nouveau.modeset=0 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau'


sudo /usr/sbin/grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args='rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau'


reboot

That fixed the problem somehow.

Thanks for the troubleshooting.

Fix released

What was the fix?  My akmod-nvidia still won't build with kernel 4.10.15-100.  I get the following error:

/tmp/akmodsbuild.ck7ghHEr/BUILD/nvidia-kmod-375.39/_kmod_build_4.10.15-100.fc24.i686+PAE/common/inc/nv-mm.h: In function 'nv_page_fault_va':
/tmp/akmodsbuild.ck7ghHEr/BUILD/nvidia-kmod-375.39/_kmod_build_4.10.15-100.fc24.i686+PAE/common/inc/nv-mm.h:142:46: error: 'struct vm_fault' has no member named 'virtual_address' 
         return (unsigned long)(uintptr_t)(vmf->virtual_address);
                                              ^~

I tried to build nvidia-kmod myself, but it only builds kmod-nvidia-375.39-2.fc24.i686.rpm, not the kmod-nvidia-4.10.15-100.fc24.i686+PAE-375.39-2.fc24.i686 that I presumably need, and I have no idea why.

Patch for kmod-nvidia package

OK, I had to change buildforkernels in nvidia-kmod.spec to "newest" and now I can build.

"virtual_address" was renamed to "address" in struct vm_fault recently.  See https://github.com/01org/linux-sgx-driver/pull/19 for another package that had to deal with this.

The enclosed patch got kmod-nvidia to build in 4.10.15, and I'm running the driver now.

It compiles fine here without the need for any additional patching, I have bumped f24 packages to  version 375.66
If that fails as well you will need to report the issue to nvidia as i686 shouldn't fail.
