Sorry to hear that, I don't think it's the general experience (I've tended to find hardware support is good these days). FWIW I'd say CentOS is a better bet for an office environment anyway if someone just needs a box, less frequent churn.

Apparently Fedora knows that the pad exists, but it is rendered useless right now. What version of FC? I dont't know which issues the OP is having, but I occasionally am facing "mouse is after reboot" with both FC19 and F20 on an older netbook. Rebooting a couple of times seems to help. I could be wrong, but I am inclined to be believe these situations seem to occur after kernel updates. Well, I just joined this list a few days ago, and will be leaving. I'd joined, because we have three folks at work on fedora, and one, I'd updated Mon? Tues? and rebooted... and that was all she wrote. No X, at all. After fighting for a day and a half, with his ATI FirePro (xinit would open a window, with no text/font at all, a black screen otherwise), we gave up on that, and replaced it with an older NVidia card from '04, and after trying a number of different drivers, none of which worked, I finally got the 304 legacy one, and *that* was broken - I had to run depmod myself, manually, because until I did, modprobe couldn't find it - and the absolute best I could do was start it from init 3 with startx, and *that* came up... but runlevel 5 refused anything but a black screen. So he needed a Linux box, and it took me 1.25 hrs to pxeboot him to a CentOS 6, which came up *perfectly*, no video issues at all.
