The issue seems to be the same as described here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=596330 Disabling acceleration with the kernel parameter nouveau.noaccel=1 works but video quality is terrible. I tried to switch to the nvidia driver but X won't load and Xorg.0.log says it can't find a CorePointer device. I remember having the CorePointer problem with nvidia in the past but I can't remember how I fixed it. Does anyone know how to fix either driver? - Grant
