Prove it to yourself. Download and install the stock Fedora kernel, boot
into it, and see what happens.
If you search the archives, you won't find a recent rash of complaints
about USB mice suddenly breaking after kernel updates. Nobody can
reproduce your exact configuration, at very least because you haven't told
us what it is.
Earlier:
What do other Fedora Core Users do to support suspend/hibernate in
their
laptops?
In my case, it just works (suspend does, anyway), modulo some video chip
power consumption issue that took a while to get fixed three years ago.
When that was a problem, I ran specially patched kernels. If I had any
other problem, I'd verify it with the stock kernel and only then report it
here.
And:
Please tell me how my question differs from all of the very useful
help
people get using the nVidia proprietary video drivers) which I also use
on my desktop machine).
Plenty of people provide help getting the NVidia drivers working because
they are popular and people with experience are willing to share their
experiences. People do not help NVidia driver users to debug other
issues. To a person, they would tell you to remove the NVidia driver and
reproduce the problem using the stock kernel. They would tell you this
for the same reason they are telling you the same thing now: Nobody knows
what effect the modifications might have, because nobody knows what the
modifications are.
