You might mention what hardware you have (lspci output for the nvidia card... just need the chip name), and what kernels the various distros are using. (I think that Ubuntu/Fedora tend not to make frankenkernels like RHEL does, so the version has some sort of correlation to actual upstream versions.) That might help identify potential issues that were fixed. -ilia

These are redhat frankenkernels, perhaps you should be talking to redhat? You might try a kernel bisect, if they supply a set of patches between rpm's. Also, what hardware do these laptops have? (lspci otuput would be nice). Can you test with a fresh kernel (e.g. some distro's livecd) rather than one based on a 5-year old...

Greetings, I am resending this as it doesn't appear in the archives and no one responded...maybe it got routed to /dev/null or something :-) I have asked this question the Scientific Linux mailing list (a few months ago) and got the suggestion I talk to the kernel guys. I pinged a kernel guy I know, and his suggestion was to ask the Nouveau list. So here I am. :-) I have had my work laptop
