I recently discovered Leigh's post in the Fedora forums, and also my
old post. 

I've been putting of doing a dist-upgrade to Fedora 18, so that is next
on my list. Afterwards I'll revisit this mess. Oh, and I do still have
the nouveau driver installed. But things will be better after going to
Fedora 18.
