Please report this issue to X.Org developers by filing a bug report in the X.Org bugzilla located at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component. Once you've filed your bug report to X.Org, if you paste the new bug URL here, Red Hat will continue to track the issue in the centralized X.Org bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes that become available for consideration in future updates. Setting status to "NEEDINFO_REPORTER", awaiting X.Org bug URL for tracking.
This report contains insufficient information to be able to diagnose the problem. Additionally, the problem sounds on the surface to be a video driver specific issue. Since Nvidia does not provide hardware documentation to open source developers for their hardware, in general only Nvidia is able to fix bugs in either the "nvidia" or "nv" drivers. In order for Nvidia to investigate bugs in the "nv" driver, a bug report must be filed in X.Org bugzilla as requested in comment #1 above. It does not appear that anyone has filed a bug about this problem in X.Org bugzilla as of yet, so we are unable to track this issue any further without additional communication. Setting status to "CANTFIX" (lack of information/response).
