This sounds like a driver bug to me, since if it wasn't we'd have seens tons of bug reports.
Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience. [This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
I haven't got the laptop in question anymore, but if I recall correctly it started working sometime before the final fc6 release. Feel free to close.
thanks.
