I don't know if it still applies, but I used to see those issues with
the nouveau driver in Fedora a long time ago.  Because nvidia doesn't
release the hardware API, nouveau is reverse engineered.  So, it
doesn't always have the most up to date hardware interaction, and that
can lead to problems. I didn't check closely, but there are several
recent bugzillas about nouveau you could check for workarounds.  Do a
search for nouveau at https://bugzilla.redhat.com, and sort on first
column.

The other option is to run the closed source nvidia driver from
nvidia.  Rpmfusion packages it, and provides an akmod package that
will rebuild it for new kernels.  People who run the rpmfusion driver
will probably be able to help you better with that.
